School 'Option' to ask for Police Help?

[trisha]

NBC4.com has school plans regarding evacuation/safety proceedures during a terror/biological threat/attack.

Have you seen what St. Mary's County schools have planned in case of such a disaster and do you think it's enough?

Here is the website: http://www.nbc4.com/news/2020209/detail.html

I think it's unrealistic to think that we could be fully prepared, but it looks like they have a pretty good plan.

Grab the shotgun's Billy Joe Bob Briggs, They still haven't hit Ridge yet!

I think people who worry about terrorist attacks have too much time on their hands. It's FAR FAR more likely that your child will die in a car accident than in a terrorist attack, yet parents send them out on the road every single day and don't give it a second thought.

It's like a fire drill - kids stand out on the schoolyard twice a year, yet very few kids have ever actually seen their school on fire, let alone been killed that way. And that's a LOT more likely to happen than a terrorist attack, but parents don't get uncomfortable talking to their children about fire.

Anybody remember "Duck and Cover" as the planned response for nuclear attack?

Exactly, they are as prepared as anyone can be for an "unknown" event.

All too well My Mom said it was air raid drills in her day.

Sure do! We had to do that a lot! It stopped being scary when we learned what happens when an A-bomb goes off; we realized it was all over no matter WHAT position we were in.

Remember the posters that gave "instructions" to sit down, place your head between your knees, then kiss your ass goodbye?

I think all you neglectful parents should spend more time freaking your kids out about possible terrorist attacks and dangerous flesh-eating viruses. Then your kids will be too scared to leave their house and my fearless kids can take over the world
