We go into lockdown at any little disturbance nowadays. There was an angry parent coming in yelling at the admin (good ol' case of "My little angel not do nuttin'"), lockdown.

I'm still undecided on the issue. I know the kids in my room would be safe as I carry. However, the whole idea of sitting still and waiting is a little hard for me. I see the pros and cons of it. We have at least a teacher conference on safety, etc about once every two months.
