It is not just the hoaxes that scare kids and even the teachers, it is also the random shelter in place alerts. We had an incident at my neighborhood school where a guy on drugs drove into a school parking lot. This generating alerts and announcements in the school. One teacher starting barricading her classroom door.
- giantg2 3y agoI agree. I think it's mostly the overreactions that drive even more hysteria and fear. We had lockdowns due to a vehicle theft on the property, due to random drug sweeps, being inside with the blinds closed due to a sniper, etc. Nobody panicked or talked about nightmares, just as nobody did when taking precautions for things like fires with fire drills. They need to be providing context if these drills and hoaxes are causing these sorts of issues. Like here is the statistical likelihood of this happening to you vs that, at school vs at home, etc.
