Well maybe my school was the outlier that didn't have active shooter drills but that makes it even worse that it's been 30+ years and nothing has changed. It should NOT be normal to have to prepare elementary kids to hide from an active shooter in their school.

My kids' school recently had an active shooter drill like we used to do fire drills when I was a kid. They said they all had hiding spots to go to and they thought it was pretty scary. They're in elementary school. It's definitely not normal that instead of doing something about the guns we have to teach kids to hide from gunmen because that's just a legit possibility now.

The music shop at the mall near me had those headphones but only like 10 albums that were able to demo. And I'm pretty sure the demo was just bits of the songs. I definitely bought plenty of CDs having heard only one track or fewer.
