Actually, the amount I mentioned is accurate.  18 rounds up to 20 (and I said, QUOTE: "about 20", you can scroll up and see for yourself) , and there have been 18 verified school shootings in the US as of Feb 20th.

Those are not the actual number of school shootings in the way people think of school shootings. 

I'm not the arbiter of what people think and neither are you.  If you are upset that news organizations record verifiable information to a different standard than you'd like, that is your problem, not mine.  I stand by my vetted figure but will gladly change it if a new standard dictates how information is reported.  Call it "18 separate incidents involving unlawful discharge of firearms on the property of education centres in America" if it really means so much to you.  My original context remains unchanged, and everything I've claimed has been independently verified.
