Should We Have Lock Down Drills For Children? (Page 2)

[bear926]

Sadly I think there’s no other way. I’ve been experiencing lockdown drills since I was in elementary school. It’s just something that is now engrained into the American education system.

If i am going to be shot in the face I'd like to think i wouldn't be cowering under a table when it happened.

But sure why not have children hide under their desks from covid, its not like that would be the most retarded aspect of this circus.

[notwoke]

the number of children killed in cars is hundreds of times higher, we're not doing drills for that. This is stupid

[Kiran_Yagami]

Why not? Modern problems call for modern solutions. They used to have, "duck and cover" back during the Cuban missile crisis. Teaching children survival measures so they don't get shot to death could never be a bad thing.

[Subarugirl]

Yeah absolutely, the same reason why we have drills for fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

[Joker_]

yeah what we should do is have a few kids play seek out with a nerf gun or a water pistol and the other kids should play hide from the school shooters

[H3LLBRING3R]

Yes but not really for shootings, more for kidnappers and schitzo arsonists and such, they happen on a much larger scale than reported by the media

[fjb2021]

Blah blah blah. Ain't reading it. No, no lock downs for children. Equivalent to 5-11 yr olds being vaccinated. Your chance of dying is the same is being struck down by lightening. Next...

how about instead we make getting mental help completely free. and also stop being such assholes to each other?

[awkward_author]

Unfortunately, drills like this are necessary because it's better to be safe than sorry.

[007kingifrit]

is it? mass shootings kill 120 a year, toasters kill 320 a year

where are your toaster drills?

[awkward_author]

@007kingifrit We don't have toaster drills in school because it's irrelevant. With the amount of school shootings that occur, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to children's safety.

[007kingifrit]

i just told you mass shootings are basically non existent

you're far more likely to die from toasters... so where are your toaster drills?

[awkward_author]

@007kingifrit I already explained this to you, and school shootings still exist. You seem a little ignorant, so I'm finished speaking with you. We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

[007kingifrit]

@awkward_author dumb leftists only know how to call people ignorant. a true adult says ignorant of WHAT, the word ignorant is not an argument

you seem to be implying (poorly and inarticulately) that if there is even one school shooting then lockdowns drills are needed

but you don't hold the same rule for toaster drills

[Lliam]

You're 100% correct @007kingifrit.

[Massageman]

Yeah. Lock down those drills - they might put a hole in your wall.

[genericname85]

no, because i think that will actually increase the risk of people commiting such atrocities.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I thought thats already a thing in america, not so much here in Europe

[Anonymous]

Lockdown drills for school shooting makes no sense because the shooter is usually part of the student population and he's taking notes where everyone gonna be.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Why the hell aren’t we making schools secure? Mass shooters love “Gun free zones”!

[Subarugirl]

What have you done to help? Other than complaint online?

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Subarugirl tf can I do besides diagnose the problem

[Effie2004]

Yes especially school shootings. Sandy Hook I was 7 when it happen.

[josephinelcajon]

All this does is scare and scar them for life!

[Throwdownxxx]

They have proven to slow down gunmen, so yes.

[emperor90]

Yes it teaches good habbits
