Lockdown Curtains And Drill Bags: How Teachers Are Preparing For School Shootings

Walk in to any given elementary or middle school classroom, and you’re bound to be greeted with some evidence of a teacher’s love and effort. Maybe it’s a hand-drawn poster or chart, specifically tailored to the class’ needs and ages. It could be a row of cubbies or another useful, attractive addition, handcrafted over hours of the teachers’ free time just to make this space a little brighter, a little better, a little more like the haven it should be.
