With school around the corner, my mind is shifting into “school mode.” After reading a post by Brenda @ Becoming His Tapestry, I started thinking about our “intruder drill.”
I will always remember the first drill we practiced. The teacher sat down with the class and talked about what we needed to do if a person came into our school who wanted to hurt us.

I taught for 40 years. When I first started teaching, the only drill we practiced was for fire. When I finished my career, we had a myriad of necessary drills for other purposes.
I agree with writer. Yes, I would do whatever is necessary to keep my students safe.
