In a grim Friday headline nobody wants yet keeps scrolling past, two children were killed and 18 more aged 6 to 15 — ongoing reminders that middle schools are sometimes less about learning and more about dodging bullets. Middle schoolers reportedly acted heroically, because if the school curriculum fails, at least child bravery seems to enroll early. No fancy company bailouts or endless PR spin this time, just raw, tragic facts and one parent's somber praise for adolescent courage amid chaos. The date sticks: meaningless on a calendar, monumental in family nightmares.
