This what happens when you take discipline out of the schools. Anarchy. And when you try to impose discipline, parents and media stab you in the back.
Public education is dying, if not already dead. I went to small-town public schools and high school, but I think that era of history is now ending.
Pretty soon, if not already, the only kids getting a decent education will be those from families who can afford private school. I was not one of those, but things were safer back in the 80s.
Now, it's just chaos.
If it were up to me, I would bring back uniforms and corporal punishment. But of course that would never fly.
I am actually going to disagree here. I don't think the increased violence has to do with less strict schools, it has more to do with single mums trying to raise children with no male authority in the child's life. And then they try to say that the children don't need a father in their lives. Bullshit. I'm guessing the father could not be reached for comment in any of these cases of psychopathy in students.
I agree, but let me add something (this is becoming my standard phrase on here now).
Not only does this have to do with single mothers raising kids without dads, it has to do with the type of genetics these kids are getting because of the dads those moms choose.
Study after study has shown both personality and intelligence have large genetic components. When you sire kids with Billy Badass instead of Dudley Do-Right, it should be no surprise that you get Billy Badass, Jr. as a kid. If you have entire communities doing this, you end up with outlaw communities. The best parenting in the world, the best teachers in the world, and the most well-funded school systems will not change this.
When society stopped putting pressure on women to get married before having kids, it unwittingly gave them the freedom to spawn with bad boys, thinking that would be the same as breeding with marriage-ready guys because it's all about giving the kids "love" and "support." It isn't. You can't create gold out of garbage.
This goes for white women in equal measure.
The "educated class" (gag) -- especially school system-type shitheads -- will dispute this by claiming kids are a "blank slate" and nurture trumps nature. Oh really? Then why is it that when educated women or couples need a sperm bank, the male genes they seek come from well-bred Ivy League men, not prisoners? If it's all about nurture, why not choose a big, strapping ex-con to sire your kids for free instead of paying for expensive Ivy sperm?
