Uh, Gen-Xer here. We weren’t given the duck and cover shpeal. They had pretty much given up on that by the mid 70’s. You’re actually thinking of Boomers.
realizing as a millenial how dated everything about your school was
My elementary-school-aged kids still have desks like this.
We were still doing bomb drills too
Mine do active shooter drills.
We got both! But the shooter drills were post Columbine.
Are the desks bulletproof?
Nah, that’s what the vests were for
The soviets never could make a desk busting nuke.
They really should make the black box of airplanes out of the nearly indestructible military grade plywood that school desks are made out of.
Just duck and cover! 🐢🪖
You’re right, I COULD do with being a bit better at handling explosives!
“Duck and cover!”
Made it sound like a game.
FWIW, duck and cover was more meant to protect kids from falling debris in the event a nuke goes off a distance away that is survivable. I don’t think anyone expected this to help in a direct blast type of scenario
I do believe they’re also renaming their class rooms, into “panic rooms”
And moving them to discos?
All school drills but like two, ever, were post Columbine.
???
Wat. Shooting drills and nuclear holocaust drills are unrelated.
Also, Fire drills happen fucking everywhere forever.

I have one of these in my room. Coincidentally, I have a lot of students who break regular furniture.
