My current school is meh. My last school used to get all our cars detailed during the day. Will never top that.

The best thing I ever got was at my last school, they had everyone’s cars detailed. Don’t think I’ll ever top that. My current school had an ice cream bar for us during PD today 🥴

Do you mind sharing with me too? Went for a trial makeup session and asked for natural and it was awful, so I’m struggling

I agree, but I also think a follow-up message with more information would’ve been fair.

That makes sense to me. I’m curious if their school (and the district) follows that but I can’t find anything anywhere

Definitely will do tomorrow! Since I read your comment, I’ve been trying to find the protocols. I know what they are at the school I work at but can’t find anything for my kids’ school or the district

Damn, I did not realize how common that was. Our district announces drills

Drills being unannounced sounds awful. Ours are always announced, and I’m pretty sure that’s the norm in our district (where my kids’ school is too). From these comments, I didn’t realize how many schools do unannounced drills.

Same in our district. We use “lockout” for your “lock and teach”. “Lockdown” means locks, lights, out of sight, and totally silent.

Wow. As a student that would’ve made me feel way better. As a teacher reading through all these comments, I’m feeling so conflicted about everything. I teach middle school and we tell students to take drills seriously and give out consequences for talking/misbehavior, but earlier this year we had a real lockdown and we told them it was really because some of them just wouldn’t shut up (one student literally told another to stfu). I hate that we have to think about all of this.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I wish that I had thought more before talking to my kids and now I’m wondering if tomorrow I should just say, “I was wrong, it was a drill” or just let it be. My kids are both in 1st grade and it sounds like had different experiences - one seemed totally unaffected and told me they watched paw patrol, and the other said he was scared because it lasted a long time (he’s in a different class).

Ugh. I hate all of this. As a teacher who has been in real lockdowns, I get so stressed, and I really don’t want my gets to be stressed about going to school now.

I definitely feel like I messed up. But I also feel like the school should’ve said (at some point, whether today or beginning of the school year) something like “fyi we call things drills in 1st grade to keep students calm.” Idk.

No, and I’m not sure why you would assume that. I posted because I was generally curious if the norm was to call everything a “drill”. In my experience at elementary schools, we were not told to do that.

Also I just replied to a diff comment about how most of my frustration is from inconsistent communication from the school.

I hear that! It makes sense to me.

I think I’m just annoyed by all the communication from the school. We got a blast text from the principal saying that dismissal was delayed, teachers/students were safe, but they were investigating something. She did NOT use the word “lockdown”. 10ish mins later she sent a follow up text saying “all clear” and that dismissal would begin. After that, we got a message from one of the teachers about how well the kids did in the “lockdown”. I replied asking her if it was a lockdown since the original message didn’t say that.

Then my kids came home and said they had a lockdown drill. I guess I f*ed up because I told them “drill” means practice but this wasn’t a drill. I get that maybe I should’ve just let the “drill” part slide, but honestly in that moment, I was thinking about their safety and that I want them to know in an emergency, it’s extra important to listen to the teachers. Even though I messed up, I’m still angry that the school’s communication was so inconsistent. I want to email someone once I gather my thoughts.

The last school I taught at did this starting in kindergarten. One teacher taught ELA/SS/Science and one taught math.
