kids and adults would most likely freeze in that situation

Yeah, run at him, that'll take the gun away. These kids have automatics and shotguns, throwing a pencil, a book, and then screaming is not going to help. But they should teach how to disarm a person. But I have to admit, its better than just hiding under the desk.

If they all rush the gunman, the gunman will panic and at least 1 of the kids will got shot.

And, if a gunman walked into a class room with the weapon on his hand, every single kid is going to look at each other and wait for someone to start the massive rush, and none of the kids will step up to start the rush.

I don't think it'll work.

Well, you might lose a few but it's for the greater good. Example, if somebody charged into my driver's ed class, there are about 50 students. 50 students and a male teacher charging one gunman will easily win.

That could be a lot to ask of kids, but in cases where the gunman's goal is to massacer students, I guess I figure that I have a better chance of surviving if he shoots me while I'm charging him, since he'll probably go for center mass, that if he walks up to me on the floor and puts the barrel in my ear.

I bet once the guy gets a shot off, the whole rush will stop.

At least one kid? its better than doing nothing and having half of them die, plus if you do die you at least die like a hero not someone who got shot hidding. but not dying is still the key here.

hopefully the training they're receiving will make it clear that they all NEED to rush the gunmen and that a lack of disciplin in the matter is just going to lead to unecessary deaths. Although, thinking about it, it takes nuts for a soldier to bayonette charge a guy with a rifle, telling unarmed kids to rush a guy is definatly asking a lot.

Not in all school shootings does the gunman end up killing "half of them"; like recently here in Missouri, where the police got the kid before he killed anyone. Now I would imagine, had some kid(s) rushed him, he would have shot at least 1 of them.

It's already illegal, and I have my doubts that even metal detectors would help much to stop a determined gunman, since he could easily just shoot his way in.

I personally think this is a terrible idea. If I walked into a classroom with a gun, and people charged me I would fire blindly like there was no tomorrow at every one of them. I don't think teaching our kids to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the people is a good idea. Almost makes me think of them as martyrs.
