Aftermath of yet another Russian missile strike on a highschool in Ukraine, close to Odesa.

I few months ago I talked to a father in Ukraine who had made the difficult decision to send his teenager to live in the EU. His teen's schooling was being too disrupted by the air raids. The father stayed behind – hopefully his military service means his child has a home to come back to.

Where they lived, people mostly ignore air raids because the chance of you actually being hit is pretty low. Especially during the day. Most of the drones get shot down, and there's not too many missiles.

But the problem is Russia _intentionally_ targets schools. You are a lot more likely to get hit if you are at a school. So the school system has to respond by rigorously evacuating everyone to bunkers, every single time. If they didn't, a lot more children would be dead. But other than the few places that have been able to build new schools in hardened bunkers, that inevitably disrupts lessons.
