The other day my son came home and said they had a "lockdown practice" at school. I had never heard of this and basically what he described is that if a stranger or suspicious person is approaching or in the school there is a general warning and the kids are put on "lockdown".
The kids practice getting into the nearest classroom if in the hallway or washroom or getting to the community club if they are at recess or outside for gym. They are also drilled on hiding beneath desks and using window exits (a little tricky because of the design of our school). They are all also taught how to lock the classroom door and use the intercom system if they need to contact the office.
Do your schools do this? If they do, what else is part of this practice and what do you think would be useful for the kids to know?
