Schools can prevent massacres along the lines of Columbine by teaching students how to be "more human." However, in order to teach how to be more human, teachers and educational professionals must keep up-to-date on the changing needs and desires of their students.

Therefore, all schools should completely transform their cafeteria offerings.
