A reply to a comment with a false generalization and a personal anecdote.
I'm gen X from a country where schools typically have 200-500 students. Small enough that rare things like leukemia didn't happen in most schools. They were something that happened to a kid in the news but not to a kid you kind of knew in your school. People generally didn't talk about leukemia or think about it, because it did not affect the life they experienced.
Rare things still happened, but they were different for each school. In my school, someone I knew was murdered while visiting her family in Russia.
