Me too! I actually think it's pretty interesting. Lots of small incidents where only one or two people got hurt, wheras most of the other countries have much fewer incidents with more casualties per incident on average.

Ours are kids killing for revenge, whereas in other countries it just seems like schools are a terrorist target, as far as I can tell.

That seems about right, though there are still a few crazy ones. Here's an interesting one from canada (though I guess that is practically US?):
> École Polytechnique massacre. Marc Lépine took a hunting rifle into École Polytechnique de Montréal. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was "fighting feminism", he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. He killed fourteen women and injured four men and ten women in just under twenty minutes before turning the gun on himself. It remains to this day the worst mass killing in Canadian history, on or off a school campus.
And one that I 'liked' from Guatamala:
> A 21-year-old student killed two people with a machete at an agricultural school near Guatemala City. 15 others were also wounded before the man could be overpowered by other students.[30]
