Yeah, the kid I tutor was telling me about the lockdown drills he's had to go through and it's...just goddamn heartbreaking. His attitude was somewhere between anxious and totally blasé. Like, this is just how it is, this is all they know.

i wonder if the duck-and-cover nuclear drills were more or less damaging. They had songs for that too.

no, of course subjecting an entire generation of kids to constant anxiety about the prospect of being violently murdered alongside their classmates, perhaps at the hands of one more of their classmates, won't have a devastating effect on their long-term mental health, why do u ask

i always felt pretty secure knowing that my arms over my head would impede the terrible waves of nuclear hellfire

can't wait for the Sesame Street episode in which Big Bird IDs the different types of automatic gunfire in order to help gauge the distance of the active shooter

the sign itself is disturbing enough, the fact that it's supposed to be sung to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star makes me want to die

These kids (my kids included) have been raised with this stuff all their lives. They're really too good at shrugging it off.

My niece (11) has been homeschooled for several years, and as of 3 years ago was being shielded from news of any shootings (I was not allowed to watch the news when visiting). I wonder if they've kept up with that.

remember nuclear attack drills? good times.

I guess I feel lucky that I grew up & went to school after nuke drills and before shooting drills. Fire drills were itgodfucking dammit@ that sign

I hate every time I see this thread bumped without having read the news
(it's not anyone's fault, just the frequency of there being new shootings and the plausibility that one could happen at any time)

She's actually really great. I'm just worried about everyone who works there, and then the kids. It's an office building with multiple businesses (including our local newspaper). Super quiet place.
