So is has progressed from there to now. This really got my attention. Yes we need child control not gun control. First off, ALL schools would have their students decked out in school outfits and not designer name shoes. If the both parents of the student worked, or it the singel parent worked, then there should be holdover of these students after school, at school to assure that they completed their extra assignements for the next day class.
Tenure goes out the door.
Lets talk guns. Treat the children as adults when a firearm is involved at school or off school grounds. Get away from high tech and put the brains of the hired teachers to work teaching our children. If there are some that do not get it, do not hold the other students back because you have a dumb one around. Yea, go ahead and reward the smart ones by letting them advance without the slow ones.
