Totally agree - whatever idiot administrator thought that one up should be censured or fired outright. That stunt was totally irresponsible, potentially lethal, and patently stupid.

But tell me, if the teachers are "taught" to run and hide and cower in place, what is happening to the kids if, god forbid, another wacked out shooter gets into another school? What are the kids "taught"? To fall down and play dead? Who is looking out for, or after, the kids in such an emergency?

I thought the teachers would go into a lockdown drill AFTER securing all the kids and other known personnel in their vicinity. Then they can cower.
