Blogger for <em>MEL<\/em> Yekaterina Mukhina has been living in Canada for more than 5 years, and her children go to a regular Canadian school. And there, they regularly hold preventive \u201canti-shooting\u201d drills. She tells what that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Police_coffee_and_donuts\"><\/span><strong>Police, coffee, and donuts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When I drive up to the school, I see 3 police cars. Instinctive check-check: license in place, everyone buckled up, insurance paid, license plate not falling off. All this had been violated before \u2014 guilty! The main thing \u2014 speed. When other rules are overlooked, in the school zone it\u2019s strictly 30 km\/h. Go over by 2 km \u2014 sirens behind you. Go too slow \u2014 suspicious driving, reason for a check. Around schools, patrol cars are constantly driving, often undercover police cars. An experienced eye will tell them by certain models, heavily tinted windows, and protruding antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the police are like peacocks in the local garden: fluffing their feathers, showing off their uniforms and stories. Police straight from the movies \u2014 with donuts and coffee \u2014 smiling and joking. This is part of a program from the police department: free breakfasts for schoolchildren, where sometimes RCMP \u2014 Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal police of Canada \u2014 drop by. You can ask the police anything, they really are friendly and, most importantly, inspire trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the morning breakfast and informal talk with the authorities, my daughter Alya and her classmates gather in the gym. Police and teachers explain how to act in case of a shooting: not only how to hide or evacuate, but also about preventing such incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are taught to be attentive to each other: to notice alarming behavior in classmates, to tell teachers if something seems suspicious, and to care for their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are enough unbalanced teenagers here. Such kids are spotted by teachers and sent to school psychologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also programs to strengthen mental health, where students learn to deal with stress and emotions, as well as programs to develop empathy \u2014 here children are told how to understand others\u2019 feelings and avoid aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the main problem in our province \u2014 there is a catastrophic shortage of psychiatric clinics \u2014 <em>lunatic house<\/em>, as they are called in everyday speech. Psychologists often give only general advice, and to get to a psychiatrist, who could assess mental condition and, if necessary, prescribe medication, the wait is 8 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The talk with students takes place in a semi-formal setting. Instead of monotonously explaining the material, teachers ask questions, involve them in dialogue, show memorable slides. It\u2019s proven that questions that make students think develop critical thinking and help them remember the material. After studying 4 years under strict Russian rules, Alya found her favorite rule in Canadian school: there is no wrong answer. The main thing \u2014 don\u2019t be afraid to give your answer, because everyone\u2019s personal opinion is respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, Alya authoritatively shares what she remembered from the police lesson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>17% of shooters had mental disorders;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>78% previously had suicidal thoughts or attempts;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>98% experienced serious emotional or physical trauma.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alert_lie_down_act_clearly\"><\/span><strong>Alert, lie down, act clearly<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> After the police lecture comes the most interesting part \u2014 skill practice. Alya and her friends learn to hide quickly and act together. \u201cOne person\u2019s wrong behavior can increase the scale of the tragedy,\u201d explains the officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules here are similar to Russian ones, but there\u2019s also much new. Students, for example, are taught to hide in any part of the room not visible from the glass door or outside the building (depending on where the shooter is): under desks, by the wall, behind furniture, or in the spaces between windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to turn off the light so the classroom looks empty, close the blinds, and barricade the door from the inside. All doors in the school lock, and only teachers have keys to open them from outside. In non-standard rooms, like the library or tech class, there may be special shelters. Locking doors slows the shooter\u2019s progress and helps police respond faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada, police arrive at the school within 3 minutes of an alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main rule \u2014 don\u2019t draw attention: sit quietly, don\u2019t leave hiding. Even if someone shouts that it\u2019s safe, don\u2019t believe it: the shooter could have accomplices outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the shooter tries to enter through a window, it\u2019s important to crouch below his level and be ready to resist, using the advantage of numbers, especially in high school, where teens can be stronger than adults. Risky, but better than everyone trying to run out of the class or jump out the window under fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in general, children are taught not to attack \u2014 except as a last resort. Still, sometimes adults take that step, shielding students with their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there is no perfect strategy. Much depends on the layout, equipment, and readiness of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers are also trained. For example, they are taught to use codes when reporting via the school radio or loudspeaker \u2014 so police can better identify the shooter and locate him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some schools, following the U.S. example, there\u2019s the ALICE program (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate). On the school radio or directly to dispatch, clear descriptions are given. Instead of \u201cShooter in the building,\u201d say: \u201cArmed white male in jeans and red shirt at the library.\u201d Then teachers decide whether to evacuate the class, barricade, or counter the shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alya instantly memorizes the acronym, similar to her name, and makes her own version: A-L-YA: <em>Alert<\/em>, <em>Lie down<\/em>, <em>Act clearly<\/em> (don\u2019t judge her for the spelling mistake in Russian \u2014 4 years in Canadian school gradually erode it). Her brother jokes: \u201cAttack, Catch, Tattle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all students knowing the saying <em>Snitches get stitches<\/em>, it\u2019s precisely thanks to tattling that incidents can be prevented. Although there are \u201cdistortions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alya tells how once the school went on alert: classmates told teachers someone brought a Nerf gun. Just a plastic toy blaster! Police were called instantly, the school was cordoned off, students evacuated to a safe place outside. Of course, there was no real danger, but our kids learned: better to be the boy who cried wolf than risk a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, schools don\u2019t allow wearing jewelry with sharp spikes or clothing with images of weapons or blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alya \u2014 a fan of Kurt Cobain, our \u201cneighbor\u201d from Seattle \u2014 has her favorite tote bag where he holds a gun to his mouth. It was reason enough to call her parents in for a preventive talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alya jokes that this tote is a vigilance test for school administration, a pass to an audience with the principal\u2026 or the school psychologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Alya, mass-shooting drills are both a game and an important team skill. And of course, free donuts, the chance to flaunt statistics, and to casually chat with police officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bulletproof_shelters_under_the_desk\"><\/span><strong>Bulletproof shelters under the desk<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> In Canada \u2014 a peace-loving country, where from childhood everyone is trained in \u201cthank you \u2014 please\u201d \u2014 school shootings are rare. This is connected with stricter gun regulation than in the USA: automatic and semi-automatic weapons are banned, short-barreled pistols banned for sale, as well as grenade launchers. Also banned are butterfly knives and switchblades. Incredibly, in the USA the right to own such weapons is protected by the well-known Second Amendment to the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is proven that the number of crimes rises sharply when the population has free access to weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After another mass shooting in Canada, a ban was introduced on the use of military-style semi-automatic weapons, and owners were obliged to surrender them to authorities. Law-abiding Canadians voluntarily handed them in for disposal. Of course, weapons can still be used \u2014 the rule remains that if you enter private property, the owner has full right to shoot the trespasser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada\u2019s history there have been several high-profile cases. The largest mass killing in Canada occurred in 2020 in Nova Scotia, lasting two days and claiming 22 lives. The criminal, dressed in an RCMP uniform, moved through towns killing people and setting houses on fire. Before that, the worst was the Montreal Massacre \u2014 the killing of 14 women in the \u00c9cole Polytechnique in 1989.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the latest data, all Canadian shooters were men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts link this to the fact that men find it harder (and more shameful) to express feelings, so they express them through aggression. So students here are taught how important it is to express emotions, and they understand why there are so many programs for developing empathy and strengthening mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the examples of the USA and Japan, additional safety measures are being implemented in Canadian schools. Some companies have begun producing backpacks with protective panels that can be used as shields. In some schools, bulletproof shelters are installed under desks, or portable protective structures are used, which can be quickly deployed in case of threat. These measures are expensive, but justified. A school is a place where children and teachers should feel safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, in Canada there\u2019s a magic phrase: \u201cI don\u2019t feel safe.\u201d If you say it, it\u2019s an automatic signal for action. Police can come to check the situation, and school psychologists or social workers start offering support. Of course, resourceful Alya, with her Russian mentality, notes that next time she\u2019ll say: \u201cI don\u2019t feel safe because of the math test.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In Canada, school shooting drills mix police-led safety training with lessons on empathy, mental health, and community trust.
