Re: How should kids react in a school shooting?
Admit it, CR- you're moving to Mass now.
Anyways, regarding the decision- I think its personally better than nothing, assuming that they're not teaching the kids to do something really moronic like trying to give the shooter a tongue lashing or something.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

The kids would have to have some serious mental discipline if they were to pull if off. It's tragic, but there's really very little that can be done when you're in those kinds of situations.

The best self defense ever: not being in the situation in the first place.
Second best: Run away. Fast.
See? I still remember the combat training I learned in the army....

Re: How should kids react in a school shooting?
These guys have made up their mind, run. Which should be pretty obvious. But why make a trend out of incidents, horrible as they may be, that is just inviting the next crybaby.
Re: How should kids react in a school shooting?
Well, some 60 years ago soldiers were trained to run up an almost empty beach protected by fortified bunkers at the top to solve a problem, maybe they thought it is time to go back to the old way of solving violent problems.
In the end it all depends on the situation, like a bunker is vulnerable from behind, a gunman is usually vulnerable when he enters through a door, but in most cases you are likely to end up dead if you cannot use the element of surprise to your advantage.
In both cases the best solution is to prevent the problem in it's early stages, which so far hasn't happened often.
