Today, we had a lockdown drill at our school. For me, I working in the library at the time, and there was a c.l.a.s.s. in there at the time. So me and the other two library aides Hailey and Tanya had to go into the small work room, and the c.l.a.s.s. that was in the library at the time had to get split into the audio room that's in the library and this room where we put all the old magazines. During the drill the kids in the room where we put all the old magazines were talking so loud, and they were screaming. Hailey, Tanya, and I were saying that if it was the real thing, those kids would've been shot ten times over. It was ridiculous. They were sixth graders I think, so they probably didn't think that it was much of a big deal. To me, it is a big deal. My school has six doors to the school, and it would be so easy for someone to walk in with a gun. It kinda scares me a little bit because we had a bomb threat last year and it was the first year that the school was evacuated for something like that. We had had bomb threats at the school before then but the school was never evacuated till last year. And I talk to my friends every now and then about the fact that somebody could come into the school with the gun without anyone seeing, and it still scares me. The school thinks it safe, but I honestly don't think it is. I've talked to some of the teachers about this and they still think the school is safe. I still think that anyone could come into the school and just start shooting. It's scary. Every time someone who doesn't go to the school or has nothing to do with the school comes in, they have to go to the office and get a Visitor's Pass, but I think people could just walk by the office and forget about that. The middle school is connected with the high school so we have a lot more kids to try to keep safe. Actually, if I remember right, we did have akid bring a gun to the schoolwhen I was in theeighth grade. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it right, but I think that's what happened. I know the kid got expelled, but the school let him come back about a year and a half later. So he's back at my school, and he may have been gone for awhile and he could've changed, but that really doesn't mean anything to me. If he could bring a gun to school once, he could do it again.

What does everyone else think about this? Do you think your school is safe? If you don't want to answer that, you don't have to.
