A TRUE STORY.
My partners sister teaches in a school in Connecticut close to the school which had the shooting a few years ago. Last week the alarm went off indicating that there was a shooter in the school. Panic ensued as she tried to hide the students from windows and doors. It turned out that the alarm was just a trial of the system but the teachers were not told it was to happen.
Apparently she has been given a hammer to keep in her desk so that she could hide behind the door and bonk any nut with a gun who came in to the classroom.
Wouldn't it have been funny if the school principal had come in to tell her it was a false alarm had she had hit him with the hammer.

It would help remind the administration to announce these trial runs in advance, if only to the teachers.

You cannot practice a reaction to horror if you have been pre-warned. Seeing what you Acually would do in a situation, and then tweaking it, could be literally priceless. Your criticism is foolish.

The teachers should have been told but not the students. The foolish thing is to give the teacher a hammer to protect herself and the students against a shooter.
Well, that was pretty crappy not to tell the teachers it was a test! Especially after all the mass shootings in schools!
