Authorities are criticizing ultra real shooter drills because they traumatize children and ultimately are ineffective in dealing with the issues that students may face during an active shooter drill.
Child safety laws have been put in place to protect children and help prepare them for the life ahead of them. In history we see children secretly joining the army and fighting for their countries. Now that strict laws are in place to keep that from happening, we should not be putting children through actively traumatizing things that may cause the very thing they sought to prevent. Children are now afraid of everything, rather than being afraid of the drill.
Very interesting. I just wonder how we will know what to do in the actual situation?
ReplyDeleteIt’s kind of like how they used to do duck and cover during the Cold War. As if hiding under your desk is going to save you from a nuclear bomb or missile.
