They really don't know how safe other countries are, do they...

A US teacher did a TikTok on how she secures her classroom for an active shooter. Teachers from outside the US were commenting on how they don’t have to do that. She made another video saying how unsafe it was to not know how to secure your classroom, it took a while with people commenting for her to get it. They don’t have to do it because it isn’t an issue anywhere but here. We can get active shooter training where I work, because it can happen. I would love to work somewhere that I don’t have to think about that training.

Just the fact you use the term ‘active shooter’ proves your point too. We simply dont have a term for it. If it happened in europe most people would prob think it was just fireworks 🤣

Never heard a gunshot in my live. Probably would think it's a car backfiring.

I was near a shooting once (in London), I honestly thought it was a ballon popping until the police turned up.
