Shallow Thinkers
hi,
do you remember in the 60's in school when we were told to hide under our desks in case of a nuclear bomb attack, dah! The same instruction is given to school children if there is a shooter on the premises Have we not learned anything in 60 years? |

I had not heard that. What I saw was that teachers and others should do what they can to protect the kids. Block doors with things as well as windows, etc. |

If you respond (you did), then, at the very least, you nibbled. 😀

Growing up in Hawaii, at school we had sirens go off at the beginning of each month. Lasted about 30 seconds. Whenever I watched the Time Machine I got flashbacks and would dive under a desk.

Well, I remember being told to wear cloth masks and not touch anything to avoid C-19 when it was known that this did not and does not stop C-19 transmission.
So to answer the OP, no we have learned nothing. |

It was cool when doctors endorsed Chesterfields in magazine ads.

Quote:
Blast effects from any bomb attack could include flying debris and glass shattering. Duck and cover under a desk provides at least a little protection against both of those and is much better than standing in front of a window to see what is happening. In the case of a shooter in a school, hiding under a desk (or hiding anywhere) is better than making yourself a target by standing in a doorway or hall. If the blast is close enough or the shooter is standing over you then nothing is going to help. If it isn't close or the shooter isn't in the same room then it just might. But no, human behavior hasn't changed much in 60 years.
