And we don't live in that community, so it's not fair to judge them on what they choose to do with their school w/o knowing what it feels like to be there and see it everyday.

Then deal with the emotions of it. Teach the kids to deal with the emotions involved. You can't wash away the sickly feeling, because the feeling resides in the kids, not the atmosphere. The kids will need psychological adjustment with or without a new school. Providing a new school isn't going to take those feelings away. The kids need love and healing. Building a new school just for the sake of trying to erase painful memories is terribly expensive, and I question how much it would accomplish in helping the actual children deal with the tragedy. Seems to me to just be a way of trying to put it out of mind instead of really dealing with it. Rebuilding seems to be just a way of making others outside the situation feel better...
