Armed guards is a start. But we also need metal detectors, and barb-wire fences around the school to keep the shooters out of the playing fields. Get rid of windows too, because a sniper can easily shoot through them from the street. Probably walls surrounding the school yards would be best.
Basically, something like this.
We can also add a crocodile filled moat with a drawbridge.
Pass laws that require parents with children under 21 to secure and lock all guns in the house. If a crime is committed with those guns by child, parent is charged with same crime. Send a few of these parents to jail and see if that doesn't stop most of these school shootings.
I was thinking something along these lines, as well.
The schools in dangerous cities like Chicago, LA and parts of NYC have metal detectors in their schools, and it seems to work just fine. I think it would be much cheaper to require all schools to be fitted with metal detectors than it is to create another government faction for more gun control.
The root causes are:
1. Degeneration of family and family value
2. Prevalence of mass media and social media.
Let’s solve them!
1. How do you fix the family values of a kid who lost his mother at young age as was the case with the FL shooter? Also, every country has family value issues, but it does not result in kids grabbing their parents guns to kill other kids, hence it cannot be the root cause
2. Mass media and social media exists around the globe, but US is the only place with this problem, hence it cannot be the root cause

Mass media exists around the world.....but in other parts around the world, can their governments tell them to "be quiet", can they censors them? Can the quash press reports?

Not sure what that means, and the other poster also did not explain how the US is the only nation where the media causes school kids to grab their parents guns and kill people.
Its like American approach to healthcare, - try to contain the symptoms as opposed to curing the root cause. This way you get to spend more money.
That exact plan is working great for the war on drugs!
As long as they avoid targeting the source (the drug cartels) and just focus on fighting the symptoms, its something law enforcement can depend on for many years.

We are targeting the cartels, so your point it moot and off topic.
