Here are the problems with this drill: No one stated that this was a drill. Elementary students actually thought there was a man with a gun in their school. Sure, the thought was a good one... let's see how these students react so that we can analyze their mistakes and teach them the right way. However, I'd be really pissed off if my little girl came home scared out of her mind. There is probably no shortage of nightmares and traumatized children in this little town.
Good though... poor execution.

This is the text from a comment made by a mother. I edited the names out...
Yes that would really make me mad if [my daughters] had that happen to them while they were at school! Who ever came up with that drill should be thrown off a bridge....that is so wrong to place that kind of fear in children...the kids should feel safe when they are at school not scared for their lives! If this is what I have to look forward to when [my] girls go off to school then they will be home schooled for sure! ...[T]his is scary stuff for a mom to read! It makes me scared for [my] babies!
What magnificent phrase
Unequivocally, excellent message
