If you have any school-aged children in your life, you know that lockdown and active shooter drills have become a routine part of their school experience. These drills now take place in 95 percent of American schools.
What you’re about to hear is a collaboration between Slate and The Trace, a nonprofit newsroom covering gun violence in the United States.

We hear a lot about school shootings, but we’re only starting to have a larger conversation about how they affect even those kids who may never go through one.
You can hear more from the students at slate.com/lockdown.
