lacking here.

what the fuck were they thinking? they should all get fired for being dipshits. if you want to have a discussion about it thats fine and I can understand. however staging a mock attack without telling anyone is stupid

Yeah, fucking 6th graders. Are they retarded?

Extra precaution never hurts.
A mock attack is really the best way to do it, you catch people off guard and see how they would really react.
Whenever schools/work places have fire drills, they usually never tell you, you just proceed as if it were the real deal.

Did teachers have good intentions? Yes.
Did the teachers carry it out well with no one getting hurt? Yes.
Did the kids learn something from the mocked attack? Yes (or so I hope).
Did the teachers execute it out wrong? Perhaps.
Should anyone lose their jobs? No.

If the parents take it to court... eh, I guess they'd rather want their kids in coffins come the next real horrible tragedy. Teachers were just trying to help out, even if they did proceed it what some may deem "wrongfully".

they're saying it caused needless trauma to the young kids, in which I do agree.

we were always told beforehand.

i just dont think doing that to the kids will make them anymore prepared for the real thing. especially since the odds of that happening for real are RIDICULOUSLY low, MUCH lower than a fire im sure. it certainly doesnt need any more attention than telling the kids what to do in the event, not needlessly frightening them like that.

Tell that to the people at VT.

My school has started some new program for such a crisis regarding sending text messages/emails to people right away.

The only flaw... it's usually hard to get a phone signal when in the downtown campus buildings.

yes, and especially saying "its not a drill" is going to make a kid that young believe you

just because it happened there doesnt mean the odds are still not extremely low. im not saying to just hope it doesnt happen to you because of the odds, but what i am saying is that a full scale simulation ESPECIALLY without warning 6TH GRADERS its fake is over the top and irresponsible considering those odds. if gunmen shot up schools everyday, then something like that may be a bit more warranted, but to not tell them its fake is still stupid and counterproductive.
