School Lockdowns are Causing a Psychological ‘Crisis’ for Millions of Students

[boutons_deux]

Active-Shooter Drills Are Tragically Misguided

There’s scant evidence that they’re effective.

They can, however, be psychologically damaging—

and they reflect a dismaying view of childhood.

================

Att 10:21 a.m. on december 6, Lake Brantley High School, in Florida, initiated a “code red” lockdown.

“This is not a drill,” a voice announced over the PA system.

At the same moment, teachers received a text message warning of an active shooter on campus.

Fearful students took shelter in classrooms.

Many sobbed hysterically,

others vomited or fainted, and

some sent farewell notes to parents.

A later announcement prompted a stampede in the cafeteria,

as students fled the building and jumped over fences to escape.

Parents flooded 911 with frantic calls.

that's the icing on the cake. the way they cut that scene is so perfect. from Andy joining in on Staying Alive to panning back and Kelly is dancing. then all the chaos and the cut to Dwight.
What a great show.

I'm glad I recorded that episode the first time I saw it. I was laughing so hard I kept missing subsequent jokes. Probably spent another half hour going back and forth. Went back and saw the first couple seasons with someone who had never seen it and was amazed at how the great supporting characters and actors did absolutely nothing early on. They hardly even had any lines until season 2.

Hmmm...just saw that Netflix is coming out with a show called Space Force with Carell and Office creator, Greg Daniels.
I'm on board.

Yeah...they really found the sweet spot when they started bringing in the other characters.

I started to watch the British version and realized the U.S. version was almost a line by line direct copy. Wasn't really funny after having already seen Carell's version.

Only the first episode was the same. They could have never done the black man's joke or the scene with the boss' friend plowing the chunky girl in the bar parking lot in the American version tbh.

Also lmao @ this performance review from the British show

I like the one they went to Canada and Michael thought the hotel concierge was a geisha. Or the one where Jan took over Michael's apartment and he had this tiny flatscreen TV he had to stand a few inches from to watch.
