woolley Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Some grammar school that doesn't know its verbs from its nouns. Practising your spelling is good practice, as we were always taught. Unless they're all Americans there nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarndyce Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Definition of a “lose-lose” issue for the school, at least on social media. If they don’t have a lockdown policy and practice drills, and the unthinkable happens (eg, someone with a gun around the school) - the usual commentators will fume that the school wasn’t ready and the children were let down by D of Ed. But if they do, those same commentators will ridicule the school. 15 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, don't see how someone can get worked up by this, I'm sure usual suspects will be foaming at the mouth on Facebook though. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The world is becoming a more dangerous place and whilst the Isle of Man is still relatively safe we aren't immune, better to have protocols in place in case the worst does happen. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 There's been quite a bit of data science research done on, particularly, mass killings in the USA, as well as incidents in the UK. These events and incidents do spread and the news stations and media are mostly to blame as they generally give these idiots full OTT coverage. Virtually a meme - and it's a reporting format that we shouldn't copy here. This shit should stay low profile IMO - just as other sensitive information about schools is kept the same.  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of kids suffering from anxiety and mental health problems which would be exacerbated by this drill, demonstrated the need for it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Flint Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 It's no different than a fire drill. Planning for a foreseeable, high risk but unlikely event. Oh hang on.... https://www.jobtrain.co.uk/iomgovjobs/Job/JobDetail?JobId=19201 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) So I assume they're not going to be able to make anything in woodwork today. Is it just power drills? Or can they still use one with a twirly handle? Edited May 1 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Gay'n Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Without making a song and dance of it, this type of drill is worth carrying out - especially after this morning's event in Sheffield. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
