Our lives are at risk simply for receiving an desks for protection. But, desks are not bulletproof, so what are they felt during the recent lockdown drill...

Many were desensitized to such a thing and are still unfazed, but for some, this was traumatizing. There has to be a better way to inform students of how to react in a situation so terrible. It felt like a joke about death that only a few people were in on. We can never be safe at school.

“Still, I was within the four walls of concrete, so I was protected… right? But, I’m not, and I never will be. For as long as a gun can enter Eastern’s doors, my only “protection” is a light oak door and four walls of concrete. Will that be enough to protect me from an AK-47?”

that teachers lounge, and I began to notice just how unsafe the room really was. The room had no lock and only a small window that I would never be able to squeeze through. If a shooter did get to my humble hiding spot, I was as good as dead.

I should’ve been afraid when the blue lockdown light began flashing. I should’ve had the knot in my throat that always appears when I hear the words, “A lockdown has been initiated.” I should’ve been scared. But I wasn’t. Is there something wrong with me? Why did this lockdown leave me unfazed?
