ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate)

April 10, 2014 By Y3K

ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate) calls for alerting the police and implementing a lockdown in response to an armed attacker. This in itself is standard procedure in all schools. ALICE takes it a step further by training students and teachers to consider other options such as evacuating or fighting off the attacker. Teachers and students are trained in ways to stop the gunman as a last resort, if there are no other options.

What do you think about your kids being trained to fight off a gunman in school?

Y3K Tutor In Your Home Golden Rule for Living: If you hurt someone accidentally, let them know it was an accident and apologize.

Most fights occur because this rule is not followed. Kids often fight others because they think that the other kid is attacking them. The reality often times is the “attacker” accidentally hurt the “victim” and never acknowledged that it was accidental. The “victim” then retaliates and attacks the “attacker”. The “attacker” then feels that they are being attacked. At this point major fights can occur. The simple solution is to recognize a mistake happened and apologize for it.
