My son's school had a "Lockdown Drill" today, to prepare the students in case of emergency. It's all very necessary, I'm sure — yet there's a part of me that can't help but feel that Kindergarten should be free from such worries.
Then again, I'm just old enough to remember being led to the basement during a drill — though I was much too young to know that this was supposed to offer shelter against the threat of an atomic blast. (I must have missed the era of "Duck and Cover" — by the time I started school, it had been determined that a desk wasn't going to offer much in the way of protection.)
He's much too young to have any such concerns. As it should be.
