Well, my school had a bomb threat just now.

Had one of those once. Everyone had to stand out in the 40°F or so air for about an hour, many without their coats. But I was tough and could handle it, even going so far as to shield a few others from the wind (oh, it was also windy that day). Of course, everyone had to stand in their little class groups for the whole thing.

We got to go home for the day. Might've been a gas leak or something.

We tended to get one every year or two back in high school, and we'd have to go stand outside in one of the nearby sports fields. No particular groups or anything, so we could talk to whoever. Always in mid-Spring, always on a nice, sunny day, always right around that last bunch of tests before Finals.

Pretty sure there was no coincidence there. Why does this belong in this thread? I hated the Sun. Still do, as a matter of fact.

It happened once when I was in high school... a couple weeks after Columbine.  Everyone had to stand out on the football field.  There was a shitload of tension between the dozen or so kids in the "black trenchcoat" group and everyone else in the school.  Literally about 630 kids standing in one group and the misfits in another, myself with them.  Something like 3 hours of bombardment with accusations and threats.  Turned out it was a couple of hicks who wanted to get out of a test.

I am firmly convinced that most schools have emergency planes designed to kill as many students as possible. The standard reaction to bomb threats should not be to congregate everybody in a relatively small area.

Well the idea is to get everyone away from where the bomb probably is. The school. :l

Wasn't for us. It was basically 'get the fuck out the school and when you're at the field 3 blocks over, go find your class.'

Well, planes are pretty expensive, so if a school HAS an emergency plane, it will be very unreliable.

Since we are on stupid school things(kinda... maybe... a little?)

I've never understood the no talking rule during fire drills(before I became homeschool mid last year)

I mean, what the fuck are we going to say that 'will endanger lives' or some shit, most people know that if there is an actual fire to not talk about the latest JB album, or how they three sixty no scoped someone on CoD.

Probably some logical reasons, but alas first world problems!

[Descan]

Well if the teachers need to give you precise instructions, they don't want your attention diverted to listening to other people talking around you. Or so I'm guessing.

[Iceblaster]

Right. Logical reason. Need to stop assuming that there is never a completely obvious and most likely correct answer.

Ignore that~

Somebody born in the year 2000 would be 13 by now, old enough to start to count as a person, kinda.
And they wouldn't even know the lyrics to 'Who let the dogs out'

Think about that.

Well, our schools fire emergency plan was great to. Congregate everyone in the (fairly small) courtyard, which is surrounded by buildings on all four sides, and has no exits that don't require you to walk through/ under a building.

That's horrifying. Next you'll be telling me they've never watched The Angry Beavers.

[Facekillz058]

They've actually started running that show again on Cartoon Network, IIRC.
Late as night as hell, but still.
