This article talks about how kids are prepared for the real world if they have experienced school shootings. College kids do better under stressful situations and according to Margret Spellings, "school shootings supply seniors with the practical knowledge they'll need to hit the ground running after graduation." It helps with teamwork and for people who join the military. This is something that can't be taught through school without it really happening.


I really enjoyed this article because the title itself caught my attention. The online "news" through The Onion always makes me laugh. The article talks about how people can benefit from school shootings instead of all the negative stuff about it. I'm not trying to imply that every school across the country have a day where someone somes in and starts shooting, but if it happens, it happens. We can't control what goes on in the head of a frekin' crazy ass teenager, and if you live throught it, your better off than most for getting shot at (according to the article).
