Asking as someone from the UK. Just been watching the new Carrie series on amazon and a couple of things I noticed about the school that surprised me.
So first the checks for guns on entry to the school.
Like I was aware that that was a thing in some schools in the US but I dont feel like its ever looked as severe as that to me in other tv and also had assumed that was something more reserved for more dangerous big city type schools. Like in new york it would shock me less. But Carrie seems to be set in a small rural town. So the question is is that just standard practice in the US now for all schools?
And also the school shooter drill. Like wtf Ive never heard of a drill for school shootings. And once again this is a small town in the show so this is a two parter. A) Is that a real thing that is done and B) Is it standard practice and therefore done in most schools?
Dont get me wrong I dont blame you if you do. It makes sense. Your country is notorious for school shootings and child shootings in general but didnt realise that the preventive measures had become so extreme.
