As a second grader in 1957 I did many air raid drills, both under the desk and into the fallout shelter. As a high school teacher retiring in 2006 I conducted many active shooter drills. I'll refrain from drawing any conclusions.“Grim” would be a good word to Start to describe it.

And of course fire drills which got us out of school work for a little while.As an elementary school Teacher, retired in 2016, I’ve held too many whimpering 3rd graders in my arms, at the bottom of a puppy pile, trying to reassure them that there was no danger.![]()
