in elementary school there was a gun on campus "blue code" is what it was called and i didnt hear the alarm because i was in the bathroom during lunch and then i came outside and the school was absolutely empty even though it was lunch and it was always crowded during lunch so i was so scared and i ran around the empty school crying loudly and banging on doors and finally one opened and they told me there was a man with a gun near our campus and then they put their hand on my mouth so i would stop crying so goddamn loud and they closed the lights and we waited there for hours and i had to pee but they wouldnt let me,
My five year old boy has been through a few intruder drills. Of course they use softer language than with the older kids, but he's still scared. Every once in a while he'll ask me to make sure I locked the door when I'm putting him to bed, saying he doesn't want the strangers to come in and hurt us.
When I was a kid, we did tornado and fire drills. My kids have active shooter drills. The windows of their school have their classroom numbers on the outside so emergency personnel can locate threats. It’s a sad, scary world these days.
