So far this school year, there have been over 25 school shooting incidents. So how should students deal with this? Well, in the Independent School District of Burleson, Texas, their training students to immediately fight back – using their advantage in numbers to take tactical control of a gunman if he enters their classroom.

I am a parent and a teacher. I have spoken with my kids about what to do since they were in kindergarten. I did not want to scare them, but I wanted to at least give them a fighting chance in the situation.
At my school we practice lock downs and hypothetical situations. I am glad that we do. I am the adult and supposed to know what to do. How could ANYONE know what to do in that situation? Being prepared for the just in case makes me feel like I can do it.
As for fighting back against the gunman; he is going to shoot at you anyway. Why not get shot while fighting back? If I thought that there was even the smallest chance that we could save some lives I would lead the pack to attack and fight against a shooter. Some kids have been able to stop shooters in some of the attacks on schools.

I think it's a shame that it has come to this but it's most definitly necessary. I have a 3rd grader in Ohio, a little girl that has gone through training with her school on what to do if they are attacked at school. I'm glad they are giving the students the training/resources to have a chance to make it through a situation that a child in school should never be placed in. This is one situation where I can't be there to protect her so I would rather she be able to protect herself.

It's not a good idea at all,we're talking about
someone with a weapon and ready to die !
The best solution is to prevent them from entering the school in the first place.
Unfortunately,WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANY
ANYMORE !
