Episode 126 HOW AMERICANS DO YARD WORK |...

BRENT
About this episode

This podcast is unlike anything I've done before, I actually combine two lessons, "How Americans do yard work or fall clean up" and "How American Schools deal with fire drills or evacuations." Yard work is never fun for me. It's usually pretty cold because winter is coming. I'd rather be making YouTube lessons for you guys or learning some Italian, but it has to be done or there is an even bigger mess in the spring.   School fire drills in the United States have changed recently because of a few violent and unfortunate incidents involving guns. 

American teachers have several events they have to prepare their students for: fire drills, evacuation drill, and a lockdown. It is important for students and teachers to leave the building calmly, but quickly during a fire drill or school evacuation. If an American school goes into a lockdown, it's important for students and teachers to be silent in the dark. It's a pretty scary thing, even for teachers.
