So you think sending a bunch of kids outside where there is NO shelter is safer?? The birds would not have dive bombed the school for no apparent reason. The noise of the screaming idiot kids set them off in the fist place. Have a cop come by take a shot at the birds, no more birds, pick up the kids right in front of the school.Problem solved!

I'm with you. It made no sense to tell Annie "We have to get the children out of here." Out of here towhere? Where the birds are all waiting to Stuka dive bomb them, of course.
It especially made no sense if the objective was to get them to another building, i.e., their homes or the hotel.
This scene was as illogical as the upper bedroom scene in Mitch's house.

I think its up for debate. The scene shows them gathered on the playground equipment with the kids ready to go out to recess. So they would be attacked. Try to make a break for it seems like a logical choice.
I suppose my point is that the birds did no make logical choices. The birds did not follow a pattern; they didn't attack when the cast was walking out to the car at the finale ether. I don't know if this a screenplay/poetic license thing, or the birds not being consistent with their attacks. The birds were not attacking the children until the noise of the "signal". It seems that noise or movement sets them off. -

I questioned the decision to leave the schoolhouse, too. Obviously, we already know that the birds don't hesitate to crash through windows and even doors, but it seems the closets or stairwell (it was a two-story building) or even the bathrooms would've been a safer place for the kids to hide until the ensuing attack passed. Sending them outside was certain destruction. And a teacher, of all people, should know that frightened kids can't walk calmly and quietly half-a-mile down the hill to another building.

If they went in to the basement they would have found out their real teacher was dead and stuffed and been replaced with a man dressed as Annie.
with a necktie wrapped around her throat and a tie pin clenched in the mummified Annie's hand.
Lol
