Many children will go through active shooting drills in the coming weeks, but are these trainings effective, or do they cause psychological stress?
As school starts to get underway across the U.S. in the coming weeks, many students and teachers will undergo mass shooting drills.
"In the chaos of a violent critical incident, every second counts, and ALICE strategies equip civilians with life-saving options that go beyond the traditional and inadequate lockdown-only response," ALICE Training said in a press release. "I guess you can kind of imagine that would be traumatic for a child to go through," said Crepeau-Hobson."I mean, people thought they were gonna die and there was actual trauma. It was that it was that kind of harm that we were really concerned about and also, you know, engaging in, practices that there's no evidence that says these are actually helpful in terms of increasing school safety.
"So they might have someone not just go and check to see if the door knobs are locked in the various classrooms, but act as if they're trying to get into the door in a way that, you know, simulates someone who's actually trying to break in. And so we feel that those kind of exercises and drills are not necessary."
