lightening strike hit a large tree they were sheltering under during heavy rain

That's why the old evergreen says:

"so when you hear it thunder, don't run under the tree"

I wouldn't be surprised if the teacher told them to.

TIT.......

Sad indeed.

Teacher should have been told to go fly a kite.

And tie a key to its tail. May have learned a lesson then and lived to tell the tail.

RIP little one.
