Hancock, down in good old Lemay.
I grew up in the Mehlville district. I am racking my brain, and for the life of me I cannot remember ducking under any desks. I do remember tornado drills where we would all go into the hallway, and sit down facing the wall with our heads between our legs, covering them with our arms.

Yes, we had them in high school. I always thought they were stupid. During a real active shooting I'd be noping out of there via the newest window. Not hiding in a corner that isn't going to fool any active shooter.

At least my mandatory active shooter training at work vindicates me by saying GTFO of the building if you can.

No I'm too old to have active shooter drills. We had nuclear bomb drills instead.

No we didn't have crazy people back in the 80's or 90's like there are now. Just stoners stinking up restrooms and fire drills.

No, just fire and tornado drills, went to school in central Illinois in the 80s to mid 90s. Only ever had one kid attempt to bring a gun to high school to use it, he was met by two other students who kicked the hell out of him before he was expelled.

No but we had tornado and fire drills.

Didn't even live in tornado valley but the small chance of one necessitated them I guess.

No. We had one teacher that talked about what wr would do if there was a shooter but we never practiced and the school didnt have a coordinated strategy for it.

I didnt want to do work in class that day so i kept asking about increasingly dumb scenarios like shooters rappelling through the windows from the roof, or using ladders to get to the windows... Or throwing a smoke grenade in the room. He kept answering them seriously so i kept throwing them out there.

Nah.

Tornado and fire drills in grade school, and fire drills from middle school onward. Columbine didn't happen till I was in university.

My grandparents had this medical book from the 1950s, it had a section on what to do in a nuclear attack. It said if you are outside just lay down up against a curb and that would keep the blast from hitting you.

I vividly remember one, for sure. And this is in Canada.

One girl had a massive panic attack, it was traumatizing as fuck.

To be fair, the point is to hide out of sight of the doorway, in the hopes that the shooter thinks the room is empty and just keeps moving.

Hell, even as an adult, our training is "Run, Hide, Fight" in order of which we should attempt first. Run to safety if possible, but if the shooter is between where you are and the exit, then hide. And if the shooter forces their way into your hiding spot, then fight back using improvised weapons (aka grab the heaviest object you can and try to knock them out before they shoot you). But they stress that fighting an active shooter is extremely dangerous and should only be used as a last resort.
