My school's terrorist attack drills.

The point of this post for discussion is aren't terrorist drills in school a little over the top?
Since after 911 and the allies went into Afghanistan, found some Al Qaeda training camp and a list of things they were planning to attack…including schools, most schools have had emergency terrorism plans and some idiotic schools, *coughs* mine , have gone further and had drills and discussions. Because like the teacher says “we must be aware” “Where?” “What did she say.” “She says we must be a wherewolf.” “Boys!” That’s the way the discussion usually goes. Or did until my teacher called on me.
*pointing*
“What would yooooooou do if you saw Arab men with the traditional headdress coming towards you in the school yard?”
“Well, if they were dressed like you described, I’d ask them where the convention was and tell them Atlantic City is 40 miles north of here.”
*teacher turns beat red.”
Then I said, because the class laughed...
“I’m not going to be killed by a terrorist. I’m going to be killed by a teacher who looks like you do now, or more likely, that lady in the dark green minivan with the cell phone and Dunk’n Doughnut latte, frappo whatever who is always dropping her kid off late and just misses hitting me on my bike.”
*teacher laughs. Thank God it’s too nice a day to have detention.*
But what else is a boy to do but laugh at authority when authority is being silly?

It's worst in my sister's school. She has a terrorism kit with a bucket and some junk in it.
but seriously, as if any soldiers/terrorists are gonna get farther than their own countries border at the moment
there's very little chance that we (or you) are gonna get bombed. And if we do it'll prolly be from one of our own rebelling.
The school I used to go to was surrounded by a fence and barbwire. Cameras everywhere. And of course guards.
We knew not to let anyone into the school, unless we knew them. And were always on guard, if something suspicious should happen.
The police would drive by every 30 minutes, and when we were smll, we would just wave at them, not knowing that the situation wasn't exactly ideal.
LMAO! that sounds almost as sad as what my mum is doing.... she's panic buying supplies incase we get bombed :rolleyes:
