    That is a horrifying number.

    Imagine going to an average school in the US, looking into the first classroom and every kid in there is dead.

    Then you keep walking down the hall, the next 5 classrooms you check are the same, every kid dead except the 6th one has a couple still alive.

    That’s how you can help contextualise this cold hard number, based on an average class size of around 20.

      based on an average class size of around 20.

      Legitimately surprised that number is accurate…

      But I googled it. And it is the average in America.

          Not the person you replied to but for interest, It was 25 hard capped in grade school only because of the program I went through back years ago, though looking now 25-30 is petty consistent in that region as of last year. Highschool was larger, maybe 30, less once going into upper year courses, literally 8 of us took comp sci and that was combined gr11 and 12

          Ontario, Canada for reference. 20 seemed low to me too tbh, but not out of the realm of possibility.

          It’s intentionally misleading to only talk about the first six when there are forty-nine thousand, nine-hundred and ninty four more rooms each with twenty alive kids, when you’re making allegations of genocidal and tent and war crimes.

          You really don’t see that?

            No I don’t see it. I didn’t realise there was an acceptable number of children per capita to shoot and kill.

                Well given your apparent wealth of experience maybe you can help the rest of us out. How many kids is it acceptable to shoot before we’re allowed to count them?

                    Well, I only asked because you seemed to have an opinion on that before. Glad to see you distancing yourself from the implications of your comment though, it really is the only palatable move once you’ve put yourself in that corner isn’t it
