[quote=Anonymous]Retired teacher here. Taught middle and high school 1979-2016. As to one of the PPs points, in the late 70s at the rural high school where I started my career, kids drove to school with gun racks on their pickup trucks. The first day of hunting season was a school holiday. Kids got into fights, girls gossiped about each other, but the notion of bringing a gun to school to murder your fellow classmates was beyond unthinkable. Every "expert" out there has an opinion and a solution: Ban guns, punish bad behavior more harshly in elementary school, more school psychologists, let teachers carry guns, more security quards...etc.,etc,. Public schools are simply a microcosm of the larger society. I grew up in the suburbs in the 50s and 60s. Families were stable, and so were the schools. Social media, video games, smartphones, have destabilized the culture. Not sure where we're headed as a country, but I'm not optimistic.[/quote]
