School teaching kids to fight back gunmen

http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/10....ap/index.html

What do you think of this? Is this a good idea, to take down a gunman before they become a serious threat, or is it just going to incur a lot of casualties (cause I know I wouldn't have any trouble lighting up a mob that was rushing me if I had a gun on me, but luckily I never want to do anything like that, but thinking like the gunman might, what if he did that and had an automatic weapon? I'm sure the sight of blood and guts lying everywhere is going to also traumatize those kids for a long time, if not for the rest of their lives).

At the same time though, I have to see the logic the school is trying to use. After all, if you "zerg rush" one or two guys (sorry, starcraft term, but essentially it means gang up on them), they won't be able to do much when there's a fat kid and like four others sitting on him.

And I bet a kid kicking a guy's balls is going to probably take him down (unless he's wearing a cup, but unless they start learning from this stuff, I doubt it).

Still, having like 6 kids jump on you should be more than enough, especially when they're all filled with adrenaline and stabbing you with pencils, hitting you with books and what not (and I wouldn't be surprised if they inflict a lot of damage with those things, because if I was in that situation, I'd sure as hell make sure that gunman suffers if he's walking into my classroom with a gun).

Do you think this is a good or bad idea? Why?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
