Teachers planned the event as an exercise to educate the children about life during wartime scenarios.
In principle a good idea, but elementary school maybe is a bit too young.

On the other hand the demonstrating effect gets lost if everybody can imagine it'S not real.

But in principle I find these kind of excursions okay. I would like to see it being done regarding drug addiction clinics, slaughterhouses, prisons, etc. One experience can make so much more a difference than a thousand wise words.

You only can learn how far you can go when you will the risk of going too far.

Didn't this happen about three years ago at a school here, someone had the idea to tell them that the earth was about to be hit by a large asteroid or something.

And the TV and radio "This is a test, this is only a test. Had it been a real emergency you would be directed to a Conelrad station" spots. When I moved to Bountiful, Utah in 1971 they were still having weekly tests of the air-raid siren at the fire station.
