Trump candid reaction to the Iranian school incident when asked by reporter was "I can live with that".
Russian air defense shot down a civilian airliner mostly full of Dutch nationals and the response was just condemnation and tweaking the sanctions a bit.
However, to send missile to primary school killing hundreds of school girls on the very first day of the war, if intentionally is just pure evil.
Remember Hanlon's Razor, and remember how incompetent the Trump Administration has been in everything ever since he took office.
Israel has hit schools before knowing full well that it's a school (in war against Egypt). May well be policy.
Many of these kids would have been kids of IRGC. Likely that was the reason.
Objection. For a hypothetical actor wanting to set the world economy on fire there might be a benefit of enraging the enemy to lower the risk of early deescalation.
The attack on the Iranian primary school (not makeshift sheltered building) is on the very first day of the war, not several weeks, months or years.
Not to downgrade the incident, but the Mariupol incident you mentioned probably happened in 2022 while the all out war started in 2014 [1],[2]. If you can refer and link to the particular incident it'll be helpful for verification.

[2] Russo-Ukrainian war:
The theater was marked with huge inscription of "CHILDREN" on tarmac, in the pilots' native Russian. They killed them regardless.
Either way do you think that if it happened on day one instead of 3 weeks in the reaction would be any different?
After several weeks of bombardment and siege like was happened in Mariupol, children were already stop attending schools, moved to other schools, go to bunkers, live in makeshift shelters or migrate to different cities [1].
"The Geneva Conventions state that the parties to a conflict must do their best to protect civilians, which may include moving civilians and civilian objects under their control if they are close to military objectives." [1]
