“Run hide fight” is such a stupid procedure…

Eh, I mean it’s an okay procedure. I could never fight anyway.
We had a REAL lockdown today, sadly! During our Period 2 classes, my school received an urgent call regarding a shooting threat made over social media. The Main Office responded quickly, putting the entire school into lockdown. Our lockdown procedure is that an administrator announces “We are in lockdown” over the Public Address system, and we (the students and teachers) go out of sight, turn off the lights, and close the shades. This happened around 10:40 a.m. in my Latin Period 2 class. Once the announcement was made (it was almost the end of class,) I quickly realized that we were in lockdown for longer than a standard drill (a drill is 5 minutes- this was 8 minutes.) At 10:48, we had the “all clear” message, with the principal explaining the situation and calling all parents.Thankfully, the school’s Security team and the police department were monitoring the school afterward for any suspicious activity soon after.
Regarding fire drills, we are quite behind on those. Our last one was in November- and we are due for one this Spring!
I had a false fire alarm today.
During 4th period, I was in a portable and it was about 10-15 minutes before my lunch (Which is in the middle of 4th period, I am typing this at lunch.) The SpectrAlert Advance went off and the teacher evacuated the portable (Despite the procedure being to wait until further instructions.) It turns out that someone in an abandoned portable near the one I was in pulled the EST 270-SPO in there.
