I think it's more a matter of funding - when the schools want more money, they'll look for more bodies to count.

Body counts from school shooters? Another good reason for homeschooling, no disarmed victim zones. At home the kids can shoot first at the home invaders while at government-school the student shooters get to shoot first being presumed innocent.
