This is 100% absurd. Anyone who knows 2% about child/teenager psychology would refute this proposal as soon as it was mentioned, and you bet your @ss that anyone who sues this school is bound to get some bucks, this is ridiculous.
I wonder what's next? Shall we stage a kidnapping of a 10 year old, cover its head, put him in a van, remove his kidney, do some sexual abuse and then ditch him in the desert? Wait for him to return home (after 2 years) and go "SURPRISE!!!! IT WAS A DRILL!!!" ...
The only drill I ever had in school was a fire situation. I must admit that If my country had a drill for "lockdown" or "armed subject randomly shooting people" I'd think about the society I live in 🙁
I sometimes get the feeling that Europe is so much safer than the US, do you feel safe? I mean, Americans, are you sometimes afraid of getting shot in a normal weekday out of nowhere?
On a side note, I was just reading my local area free newspaper about a story of a baby named Bubba Ludwig (American citizen, 10 months old) that already has a gun permit because it's grandfather gave a rifle to him that's supposed to be kept safe until the boy's 14th anniversary, when it will be given to him. I mean, 14 year old with a gun? isn't there something wrong with this image? 🙂
