Maybe everybody should take a day or two break on this thread.  It does little for any parent to go at another when most every one is doing the best they can and wants the best for their children.

This disturbed fellow did a lot of damage in a very public manner and unfortunately it may well have a negative effect on how other teen boys are viewed so it is quite understandable for caring parents to be concerned and sounding off.  Maybe we should all ponder what is the answer - no one would want a youngster locked away for a lifetime as in the past.  Yet why are community-based services seeming to fail so many who even are identified and get assistance?

I personally think it is the way our school systems are not suited today to educating boys - but rather have a hyper structured approach that is so much more suited to the learning styles of girls.  It just seems really sad.  My five brothers were very fortunate to be able to go to a large, parochial boys school in Boston suburbs which now is actually expanding down to middle school.  It really was/is the entire package of education, sports, service, camaraderie and values.  We just seem to be selling boys short today acros the socio-economic spectrum.[/quote]
