I find it suspicious that they don't say how many of the 90 casualties are children and seem to imply that it's not the majority.

If it was actually a school, you'd expect it to be 80+ children.

If they manage to hit 90 people at a school and say 60 of them were adults, then it was definitely Hamas using children as human shields again.

I suspect it's the later, but id love to see the actual numbers.

Edit: I found more info, the school wasn't being used as a school at all. It had been turned into a shelter a while ago. So the fact that the article is talking about the destruction of education is just patently false.

When children are busy hiding and taking shelter instead of learning, isn't that a destruction of education? You're correct though, they haven't destroyed just the education, they have destroyed everything there.
