I would like to write my legislator about ending intruder drills in my State. I only have the perspective of a parent, what is the general feelings of educators on this, and is there anything relevant that I should include?
I am just a parent with two kids, and have had countless conversations about intruders. They ask me different scenarios on how they could escape, what they would do in situations they imagine would happen and how they would react.
My middle school daughter this morning had it on her mind again so casually as we were heading to school. If I have to use the back bathroom by the back exit and there is a shooter I would not hide I would just run out the back door, and wanted to talk about the pros and cons of doing that.
It just clicked this morning how many times my kids think about this and their ongoing vigilance just to attend schools. I started wondering if there had been improved outcomes from these drills and can't find anything.
It makes my stomach hurt that they have to just be so aware of it sincenthey walk through school doors for the first time. I don't think students gain anything from participating in these drills, other than anxiety. I want them to feel safe and secure at school and let adults plan for things in the background.
Maybe I am way off base though, I don't have any education background this is just how I'm feeling this morning and was wondering if it's even helpful.
