One day last week I was riding the bus home when I overheard two young guys talking about the upcoming lockdown drill. I was quite surprised at what they were saying.
The first guy was just stating that one of his teacher's had explained to the class what was to take place and how they should prepare. He appeared to see the value in such a practise, but his friend did not.
The other guy thought it was funny that we would have to prepare for such an emergency. He was laughing that students might have to hide under the desks if there was threat.
I then wondered if the second guy was laughing out of discomfort rather than ignorance. It is scary that we are in a time where we would have to prepare to dive under a desk in order to dodge a bullet.
Even though I support a lockdown drill I wonder when will metal detectors be a next step.
