I'm angry and disgusted that Momo and those kids not only had to find their teacher like that but that they were placed with the responsibility of finishing a battle their teacher couldn't in the first place. That responsibility won't end there on that specific battlefield. They'll carry that torch with them, especially Momo. I can't imagine the trauma those kids will have to unpack. Yeah they took down Gigantomachia, but they're going to live with the guilt that they couldn't do more because you know that's how those kids are. Obviously they went back and looked for their teacher where they last saw her (god I can't even say her name, I'm so angry, and not at her but at the circumstances of her death) - and it was too late. They're lucky they themselves didn't die. Out of all the hero casualties, it's a miracle none of the students were lost. Wouldn't THAT have been an eye opener for the public, though...
And, it's incredibly ironic that Dabi, a villain, points this out in canon without hesitation. He recognizes the situation for what it is - the kids are there as tools, as bodies to build a large army. Even though he probably has no idea Hawks told Endeavor to build up the hero numbers in anticipation for a confrontation with the villains, Dabi KNOWS this is the case. He knows what it's like being a child used only for his quirk's usefulness, right?
Hero society is flawed. They were wrong.
Those kids had no business being there.
Those kids had no idea what they signed up for that day.
