Hey everyone! We're really excited about this one -- our first collab with PBS Newshour Student Reporting Labs! This will be part of a series of collabs with student reporters from 4 different schools this spring. The students wrote the script, reported the story, directed Myles, storyboarded the graphics, and had final say on the editing (done by our producer Lauren). It was a big lift, and lots to improve, but this is all part of our overall mission of amplifying youth voices. Let us know what you think! We welcome feedback about how to make this engaging for both our main target audience (teens) and equally important: a general audience. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Well, all I can say is being proactive is better than doing nothing for students and kids alike. I'm glad kids and students are having more inputs as much as possible into these active shooting or other danger drills in school. We have always live in dangerous society. It's sucks! But, kids sometimes needs to understand the harsh reality we all live in. After all, it's their lives that are going to be in harms way in situations like these. As they say, "The children is our future." Some don't want to live in it while others do. Keep up the good positive work guys and gals! 👍

You have no ideer how insane this video is to a non American, just the way the children talks about this is is insane. There have been one school shootings in the history of my country thus we have no drills at all. we do have fire drills though, but without smoke, casualties and firefighters. The real problem is the school shootings everything else is just symptom management.

In my lifetime (im 16) I’ve been apart of 3 school shootings, 2 being drills that turned out to be the real deal And 1 being to have happened right in front of me. Two happened in elementary, and the last one was in 6th grade. The one in 6th grade I’ll never forget because i almost missed my death my centimeters if I didn’t jerk the way i did running towards the auditorium doors. I was initially heading OUT of the school but something told me to go back in and thats when i was in the crossfire of the shooter. Once in middle school we had a drill but since when i was little and those “drills” turned out to be real I didn’t take it with a grain of salt. So When those bells went off and everything got quiet, i went in front of the door with my knife and a chair listening and waiting to see if the shooter was REALLY going to come in the classroom. (It was thankfully just a drill) but Everyone was yelling at me from the corners and so did the teacher. But i dont care because I’m sick and tired of innocent people loosing their lives while listening to PEOPLE to “be quiet, stay calm and hide” Yes stay calm and be quiet, but listen if hiding keeps you alive by all means do so. But hiding will never always keep you out of harms way. If you got too fight than you fight. I’d rather fight than be wide open to death The thing too is ever since I’ve been little i was traumatized by events 5 yr olds shoundnt have to go through. So since little if I’m in the shower ESPECIALLY in the shower, or in a whole other room period and i hear noises going on my stomach turns into a complete knot. I hate it. I hate being in another room whole chaos is going on. So since little I’ve had the amazing opportunity of adapting to life and death situations. I deal with my emotions years later but in the moment all I’m try to do is stay alive while trying to help others and possibly kill the murderer if i can. I also find that school shooting drills should be ALWAYS talked about, practiced, all of the above. They should take place every month, and schools should he connected to some type of defense class program. When my school would do them i always had the “im ready mentality” When i hear loud bangs, or lots of screaming, people running chaotically, it doesn’t help but make me wonder how many people need saving that I cant save all at once. When theres a shooting I’m always thinking about myself yes, but if i can help someone get out alive than I’ve always taken that chance. The chance of me disarming or killing the person with the gun/knife/explosive/ whatever the weapon is, that percentage is really slim. But to injure their heads, throat or groin is something i always keep in mind if i see that area is open. *always listen to your intuition and remember your safety is first. If you can help someone and remain safe than do so. But if not get out*

I work in a school where we have active shooter/active assailant drills on top of fire drills, every month. I work with special needs students and the mere fact when the students are to be quiet during the 2-5 minutes when we hover or duck and cover or even leaving our classroom, doesn't even happen. Some students can't be quiet while others can. I have spoken to other people about how they feel about this topic and I have found; We are not only stressing out our special needs students anytime these drill come about but also what is the percentage of these drills actually working? The active shooter is usually a former student or a current student and it is giving them the know how of our "plan" to be safe.This is thought to be a safety precaution but isn't. I come from the north, NYC to be exact. I remember while growing up, we never had any of this stressful schooling. Fast forward to when my children have gone to NYC public schools and I found there are school safety officers in almost every school. There are locked doors while students are in class and there are some schools where the parents can't even get into the school without an appointment. Some schools have metal detectors and school safety officers and some don't and even with the use of metal detectors in the schools doesn't mean the school is safe but it is a start. To know all the answers to what is safe and what is not is a long shot. We have to start somewhere. Maybe we need more school psychologists and guidance counselors and the list goes on and on.No one has all the answers. Whatever it is we need to do, we all need to do the work.

Thanks so much for watching the video and sharing your perspective as a teacher of students with special needs. One thing that can help move along these conversations: showing this video to school officials and local law enforcement. The students at Northview HS who made this video did that, and it made a big difference: their school district and local police + fire departments invited them to document and analyze their district's lockdown policies, and for the first time they invited student input around their procedures. A drop in the bucket, for sure, but it's inspiring to see what can happen when you give students a platform to make their voices heard.

I was crying and my friend was trying to comfort me but she was crying too so that didn’t really work- I didn’t know that was a drill until the next year- I feel like that situation plays into why I’ve been flinching to every loud noise and small movement towards me. It was traumatizing.

Here is my opinion as an American student, I think the drills are either too light or way to harsh. The drills we have in my school are sit in the corner, locked the door, and turn off the light. And to be honest I think that’s not enough, when ever we have had a lock down or even just a drill I feel like a sitting duck. I think something in the middle would be better. But even then we shouldn’t just sit in the corner. Barricade the door, and get something to throw, don’t just sit in one corner. But to be honest, if it’s real I will be either barricading the door or breaking a window and getting out of there.

I would hope that the organizations and companies that provide active shooter drill design are gathering data from people who have actually been involved in an active shooting in the past... from the teachers' perspective, students', and law enforcement as well as experts in the field studying the mental states of the active shooters themselves as well as the victims to help design drills that are as based in reality as possible. I also wonder if gathering input from young active military or veterans that have been under fire might help, or would their experience be too different? Either way, I remember being obsessed as an adolescent from our nuclear bomb drills about what I would do with 5 minutes of life left paired with Stranger Danger type of videos at school, and it trickled down to preparing for any negative encounter throughout my 20s and 30s... (what to do if there's someone lurking around the corner with a knife)... and though it was exhausting, I think it also made me more confident to be prepared for the unexpected as best as possible.

These students did an incredible job with their interviews and brief stand ups. The only suggestion I have for this to improve the video was the placement of the students in front of the camera. Their bodies were facing directly in front of the camera to reveal who their faces were. I did like the fact that the shot variety was very significant for this piece. Overall, this active shooter drill segment was really good and recommend it for many in this world.

As a group of high school students, we just viewed this video as part of a classroom discussion activity to support an article that we read. We'd like to offer our opinion. Seven out of seven of us feel that it's a good idea to have active shooter drills. Just like Francisco's school, our school's drills are much more relaxed and less realistic than the "ultra-realistic" example portrayed in this video. Our school system has implemented required trainings that must be presented at all schools within a specific time window early in the beginning of the school year. It's divided into lessons and most schools present a PowerPoint of each lesson, one per period throughout an entire school day. In addition to that, they schedule unannounced drills on a monthly basis. Although these are good measures, we also feel that our drills should be more realistic by adding some not so graphic elements. For example, being exposed to the sound of gun shots are not as visually graphic but would help students and staff to become more familiar with how gun shots actually sound and hearing similar sounds in a real situation would serve as its own warning in any case that the school staff has not received a warning ahead of a real situation. However, our opinion about the use of mock scenarios such as blood puddles, laying down bodies, the use of make up, and pointing guns at people might cause unnecessary trauma for many people involved specially if they don't know whether it's real.

Knowledge is power. The possibility of a major fire in a school is remote but students still have fire drills and discuss why they are necessary. Reality is sometimes harsh and I think students should be involved in the planning, execution and debrief of an active shooter drill. One example of this kind of 'stress inoculation drill' is the "Every 15 minutes" program that educates kids about the perils & consequences of driving under the influence. As a parent, I would encourage my kids' (they're all grown up now) to participate. So I say, let the parents decide what's best and allow their child to opt out of a drill. Just my dos centavos...

at my school, we don't have these drills very often, usually the teachers just have to tell us what to do if there is a shooter or if there's a drill on the first day of school, when they tell us about fire drills and stuff. my school's gone on lockdown a few times, but it's usually only ever either all of the students go to one room and sit against the walls silently, or we just turn off the lights and lock the doors and be quiet. The way we're apparently supposed to have drills is that all of the doors are locked, the lights are turned off, and everyone huddles together in the corners of the room, which wouldn't be very useful against a shooter, the students have complained that that would just make it easier for a shooter to kill more students, since they're all in one place unprotected. One of my previous math teachers had a much better idea on how to prevent this. He has a lot of baseballs in his cabinets (his room was used to store some sports equipment), so he said that all of the students would get a baseball, and then we would all push the desks from the door to the wall, so there's no chance of getting the door open. Then we'd all either hide in the corner or under the remaining desks He said that if the shooter tried to get in by breaking the glass window on the door, all of the students would just turn that way and start throwing the baseballs at the shooter, since with that many people, it'd probably do a lot of damage, especially since there are usually at least some sports players in every class. One student brought up the point that the shooter could come through the window instead, so he responded saying that we'd hear the noise from the blinds moving, and start throwing the baseballs that way. Most school rooms probably wouldn't have baseballs, but chances are that they'd have something students could throw or use to defend themselves. It's not a foolproof plan, but it's better than what the school themselves set out as a precaution, which was basically nothing.

The root of the problem is that the answer to "What sort of active shooter drills are most effective?"(1:15) is None. Humans are very poor at understanding the actual risk of highly unlikely things. Sometimes the right thing to do is nothing, and that's very difficult for politicians to support. "We think there is more we can do." (3:00) Students are not at all likely to be shot in school, even with the rise in school shootings. These students are all exhibiting the classic "News Fallacy". Something is news because it almost never happens, so seeing something on the news and thinking "That's likely to happen to me" is almost always wrong. Just because you see a lottery winner on the news does not mean you are likely to win the lottery. 143 people killed in 10 years means an average 14.3 people are killed each year in school shootings in the US. Over the last decade an average of 27 people have been killed by lightning each year.

Doesn't make it less terrifying. School shootings are on the rise, of course you're gonna think you're next. Why wouldn't you? It's even worse for children because they all obviously don't want to die and yet this happens all the time to the point of everyone in the U.S. expecting it to be on the news again. This is what happens when we don't regulate guns. "But they'll just find other ways to harm people!!!" A gun is a long range weapon, a knife or a baseball bat are not. Long ranged weapons can kill more people since you won't have to move so much once you start firing. A knife is a close ranged weapon, you have to be near someone in order to do any damage, it wouldn't work at all in a public area since people can take the assailant down easily.

But, students are at school to "learn". Many of the things they learn are very helpful to them in their later lives. One thing that could be very helpful to them is that seeing something on the news doesn't mean it will happen to them. Making guns illegal just means evildoers will have to get illegal guns. Getting illegal drugs in schools is straightforward, and evildoers already plan to commit murder, which is already a crime. Students need to learn that there are limits to the power of governments and that laws provide punishment after a crime, and perhaps deterrence of a crime, but not prevention of a crime. These are important civics lessons, and if students learned them they wouldn't misunderstand the purpose of drills and they wouldn't spend their energy on activities that wouldn't help anyone.

True but it's a bit far to traumatize the students by making it seem as if it has actually happened, it could also trigger people's panic attacks or something from trauma, the best thing to do is just make it so there are metal detectors on enterances that scan for weapons and have a panic button in the offices, it's much too far to cause trauma. It would also be better for them to just actually talk about mental health more and who is there to talk too and how they are not alone.

The drills should be done as calmly and organized as possible without any realistic effects. Some students have already been in the real thing. Students shouldn’t play victims or bodies for first responders. They can pretend they have student victims and bodies.

Have realistic ones. But let everyone know its a drill common sense. But dont take this lightly. We have to be prepared. It can happen at any school n any day. Stay aware.

I am leaving America as soon as I can. I want to raise a family some day and I will not put up with idiots who care more about guns than kids lives. No, no, no. I have SEVERAL other issues with American schools (private and public) and America itself and this is a big one. Nobody should have to worry about getting shot 24/7 and say “I love you” to their parents/guardians every morning because they are scared they won’t get to say it later.

The fake blood was very scary though. This would harm the kids. I was imagining being the students walking past a pretend dead student and that really made my heart drop. That would be harmful. Don’t you dare do that at an elementary school.

b/c many of the shooters are students and they'll already know all the tips and tricks about where people are going to run, hide, and/or how they're going to fight so what even is the point of making these simple or realistic drills if the shooters know how they work and could take advantage of it

I don't understand how some of you are discrediting the idea of practicing shooter drills?? Of course mental health evaluations and bullying prevention should be accounted for,but that's been a thing way before these drills have fully been implemented; it's important to have both too,it doesn't make sense to not have a game plan IN CASE some thing were to occur because hoping that someone won't shoot up the place isn't enough. I mean I doubt you all leave your doors unlocked at night hoping that people still live by the 3 R's back in grade school and won't rob and murder you.

@Neo kids do gotta know what to expect though, so they can learn from the drill like a past experience, I get your point though but I think the fake fire and stuff enhances the learning

@Neo that's actually a good point, the lessen trauma I think you should tell them what's going on then, as long as they know what's going to be going on they'll know what to expect, since not many of us know how fast fire could spread, fake ones can give us ideas so we can avoid fire more easily
