    yes, as we know between the ages of 8 and 10 you can't be retraumatised by returning to the scene of your friends deaths every day

      Alternative schools are a good idea for the kids who were affected, but it makes zero sense to knock the building down.

        You're being pretty obtuse. It was a massively traumatic event for the whole community. No one will want to return to work at that building or return to school there after what they experienced first or second hand there. Have you heard of agoraphobia?

        All the kids were effected. It doesn't matter if you were just in the building when this happened or if you were in a classroom that was targeted directly. There's probably not a single kid in who was in the school that day that isn't traumatized to some significant degree. Alternative education for all of them is probably not a realistic option. Building a new school however seems to be a reasonable option.

          but what about in 5 years when literally no child who attended that school will be in elementary school anymore

          we might be wishing we had a suitable building for a school. this is literally just wasteful
