my wife started teaching in 1983 and not until 2006 did she have

"active shooter drills" her last years of teaching she even stategically placed books and furniture in her classroom in a certain way with the thought of a possible shooter in mind. When we were kids we never even thought of that sort of thing.

1. Hey they need their guns, the children can get over it.

2. Times have changed.

When I taught high school in the 60s the farm boys drove to school with shotguns in their back windows and they were loaded. No one gave it a second thought.

3. When we have our active shooter drills in school and I have

a couple of kids who either don't get it or are just asses, I'm forced to hiss at them to keep quiet. I hate to show that side of me, but one day, it may not be a drill. A couple of years ago, I had a second grader who more or less had the posture of "We're in here! We're in here!"

4. We had duck and cover bomb drills, but never worried someone would come into

our schools and hunt us down with guns.

5. In my early elementary school days we had drills because we were afraid of the Russians.
