Sheesh.

We had a little excitement today at school. Ten minutes into 5th period, the principal announced that we were in lockdown.

Awesome.

When it's a drill, they tell the teachers ahead of time. They hadn't said a word.

We sat on the floor in the back of the room with all the lights out and the blinds shut for about 20 minutes.

We found out later that a student had a severe case of the idiots and didn't think before he packed his backpack. He brought a practice grenade to school. Oops. Turns out that practice grenades look a lot like real grenades, and if you have one, you should never bring it to school.

All is fine, but it was moderately concerning. 20 minutes is a long time to wonder what's going on.
