Must be regional. By Challenger I was already out of high school, and the duck-and-cover thing had been "before my time" all my life. IOW it never touched my life growing up in the '70s. I always knew it as a relic from back in the days when things were in black and white.
The practice was revived during the height of the Cold War in the 1980s in some school districts.
