Earthquake drill

I kid you not. In 15 minutes we have an earthquake drill....... more info coming soon


The drill itself was not as exciting as I thought it would be. However it really is as simple as duck and cover. How exactly the desks will save the pupils from an earthquake, I have no idea but still we have to make them tuck up into a ball, get under their desk and cover their heads. Then once the bell stops we go out onto the field (presumably if the field is still in one piece) and check who is there.

It is a lot more dramatic than boring fire drills but you still get the same old boring teachers checking that everything is being done by the book. It is strange that in a country with no safety laws, teachers still find it necessary to make up the same pointless safety laws that they moan about back in England.

Then last Friday (on a day with shortened lessons and the loss of 2 other lessons) the powers that be call for another earthquake drill. I am now fully drilled on for an earthquake and on top of that, making your 6th form class get under the little desks is really very funny.

Adios
