We had a fire alarm go off the other day. Want to know how you can tell the difference between a drill and the real thing? When it's the real deal, someone says "ATTENTION, ATTENTION, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING" repeatedly.
I was worried for the person making the announcement. Was she staying behind in the burning building to make sure nobody was left uninformed? Or was it just a recording put on loop? But then she swapped it up with "PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE BUILDING", and eventually with "YOU MAY NOW ENTER THE BUILDING".
Very noble, if someone stayed behind to provide additional warning.
Nobody knows what it was about, but this morning, I was woken up (in my room across the street) by another alarm in the school with the same accompanying announcement. Two times in two days? Little fishy.
Today, there was a school-wide announcement for security. Maybe this isn't too ominous, but since it's following within a day of the last "real" fire warning, you could feel the tension in the class rise as people made connections in their heads.
School shootings are so commonly in the media, a school arsonist doesn't take too much a stretch of the imagination for many.
