Also completely garbage logic with the "wait in your classroom" strategy. That would only be good if the cops were already on site before the shooting starts, but if it drags out over >10mins then more people will die if they just sit around like ducks waiting to get shot.

I'm kinda with you but I'm not sure it's that simple. I don't have kids so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it more like:

Lock the door, barricade the door, then get ready to mob the bastard if they make it in?

That's the way it is in the several company videos I've had to watch. In a cynical manner, it's all about denying as many targets to the shooter as possible. If everyone is in the hall running, that's a lot of easily accessible targets, and it's harder to miss. If they all hide in locations, it makes it take longer per victim, as the shooter has to seek and find targets.

I don't know. I think we get numb to seeing it on a screen. I couldn't imagine being one of those kids holding a constant reminder. Everytime they put on their backpack and it's heavier than it should be. I know books aren't used in the same way they were decades ago when I was in school... But my backpack was always stuffed.

But let's ignore the root issue at hand. Let's just give body armor to children. They'll figure it out hopefully if/when their time comes

And, as pointed out earlier, this isn't even good ceramic armor, it's a one square foot steel plate that will be penetrated by a rifle.
