Had an unscheduled fire drill, or false alarm today.
I stopped my kids at the door, stuck my head out, nothing odd sounding, scooted out of the building. Was talking to another teacher at lunch, mentioned how the alarm spooked me, she asked me why. I said part of our drill, taken from real events, was the bad guy would pop the fire alarm to create confusion and move kids towards a known exit point concentration. She just said she didn't want to talk about it, 'too raw' still. I just left it alone, but damn, some people don't want to learn.
