    Or the periodic drills that they run where they don’t tell the kids if there’s actually a shooter, and people go through the halls shaking the doors.

    If duck and cover fucked the Boomers up for life I can’t imagine what Gen Z is going to be like when they’re old.

      Also completely garbage logic with the “wait in your classroom” strategy. That would only be good if the cops were already on site before the shooting starts, but if it drags out over >10mins then more people will die if they just sit around like ducks waiting to get shot.

        I’m kinda with you but I’m not sure it’s that simple. I don’t have kids so correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it more like:

        Lock the door, barricade the door, then get ready to mob the bastard if they make it in?

          That’s the way it is in the several company videos I’ve had to watch. In a cynical manner, it’s all about denying as many targets to the shooter as possible. If everyone is in the hall running, that’s a lot of easily accessible targets, and it’s harder to miss. If they all hide in locations, it makes it take longer per victim, as the shooter has to seek and find targets.
