BRACK: The Very Thought of Schools Having  a “Red Alert” Is Scary

BRACK: The Very Thought of Schools Having  a “Red Alert” Is Scary

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher  |  Think back to when you were in elementary school.  Isn’t it interesting that in many places, such as in Macon where I was raised, we called them grammar schools! After all, they did teach us grammar.

Most of those school days were routine in the classroom. But every now and then, a little drama entered when we had a fire drill.  We excitedly marched outside in the prescribed way, stood around a while no doubt noisily, then a little exhilarated, returned to class.
