I'm not sure if this is normal for elementary schools, but this is our second fired drill in less than two years. Will we be having one of those ever year? This was not the norm at my middle school. If this will become the standard then Korea has come a long way. Of course, it might be part of the backlash of the recent ferry disaster in which the general blase attitude towards safety in this country was exposed in the worse possible way.
In this image we see the Kindergartners holding their hands over their noses. I suppose it was in response to a bit of smoke from the demo fire blowing their way. I'm also guessing the teacher is trying to teach them to cover their inhalation holes to keep out the dirty stuff. It is a great start, but later they will have taught that holding their hands there will not actually do anything, and that they will need to get wet cloths to filter out the smoke. If they are not taught that then they will grow up thinking this is good enough, and then teach this to the next generation of little humans.
At least fun was had and the children actually learned something.
