Not sure if it is management or leadership or just organisation but was having a talk with a teacher and we were discussing emergencies and emergency evacuations.
I related that studies show that those who have served in the military
or other emergency services are far better off at getting out.
Anyway, it turned to fire drills at schools and the problems evacuating children - large numbers and the bedlam that can ensue.
I said why not make it a game, sensible older child at the front, everyone lines up behind them and holds onto them. Then they walk out and everyone follows in a line, nice and orderly and hopefully in control (Assuming only one teacher available).
It was like a light bulb had gone on with the comment, never thought of that
