[Chronic Diarrhea]

You're missing the point TGB. You can't train children to react in a particular way in high-stress situations. You fail to analyze where children have developed cognitively. You can tell them how to react, you can even pull off this BS stunt and stage a real attack, but it's not going to ensure that there's any set formula for how to minimize death in the instance of a gunman. There IS a set formula for events such as fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, and such. That's why schools run those drills, because it's a formula that dictates the course of action. There's absolutely no way you can predict what may or may not happen if a gunman enters a school, or hijacks a class field trip.

So what if they staged a real attack? It wasn't a real attack. The "gunmen" aren't going to harm the children, even if the children believe that they will. What happens if you take an actual madman who doesn't give a shit about the value of human life and just lays waste to those children, even if they reacted in the exact same way that they did during the drill? It accomplishes nothing.
