If anyone has connections or the ability to get it started (wide viewership on cc!), one of the largest wastes of time in high school are the monthly fire drills that are required. Does one seriously think high schoolers need them monthly or they’ll forget what to do? And how many dangerous fires are there in schools to make it a monthly requirement?
Of course, now we also get to do school shooter/invader drills, but that is quite possibly something they’ll need to know (in school or a workplace down the road) and most don’t already know. I’ll admit I never thought I’d be teaching high schoolers that sort of self defense back when I learned it in the military. I’m glad I learned it in the military though. The teaching we got from school was lower in quality IMO. I’ve had kids tell me after a session that they hope they’re in my class if anything were to go wrong… I’m glad in a way, but it’s scary in a larger way that so many teachers wouldn’t feel as capable as one can be in those situations. Not everyone is cut out for handling things like that - nor should they have to be.
