Nebraska I' ve taught in five different school systems in the past 30 years. In the San Bernardino City Schools, where I teach now, we have pages and pages of text on student behavior. However, when some of the students break the rules, they rarely experience the consequences. Schools don't need a new morality to follow. Schools simply need local and state governments to support safe schools and safe practices and to enforce the rules that now exist on the books.
