I’m a middle school teacher but my question is actually because of my own kids, who are in 1st grade. They had a real lockdown at their school today, but it sounds like their teachers (different classes) called it a “lockdown drill” instead of a “lockdown”…is this normal in the lower elementary grades?
I used to teach elementary and luckily we never had any lockdowns, only drills, but at that school they never told us to call a real lockdown a “drill”.
Thanks for your input!
