I think it is absolutely to train the kids as much as the teaching staff. Many of them, kids and staff, said that the first time they did this they froze a bit. Now, they know more about what to do. If anything, God forbid, does happen some of the students that have not taken part in anything like this will freeze, but maybe they will follow other students that do not freeze or are dragged to safety or a good hiding place. If they do this every year or every other year there will, hopefully, be enough kids that don't freeze and more will survive an event like this.

Even reading about this it was tough to not react emotionally and I failed. It is hard to think about the possibility of an event like this at my own daughters' school. I don't know how I would really react in a real event if I happened to be at the school when something like this began. However, I am in the medical field and have worked in a nursing department and ER before and know what it is like to shut off my emotions and do my job and what needs to be done.
