When we tried to use schools as proxy parents, social engineering, etc, they became of what the framers feared, and why they offered the separation clause, because driven solely by faith/belief, any given cause or agenda, will surely invite opposition.....
Now the children are pawns in a war of opposing views/beliefs, and have suffered greatly.
We need to go back to the basics, as well as teaching trades and occupations, and advanced schooling, at no cost to students or parents....
It is so much cheaper to pay for schooling than it is for incarceration, rehabilitation, or welfare.
Like race, gender, etc, what should be a low level dialogue and exchange between folks, has been co-opted and used as a wedge issue by those seeking their own power and welfare concerns.
Teach.....make productive citizen, stop.
Let them figure out if they are democrat or republican.
I have a 16 Y/O in high school and it’s incredibly disturbing how much energy that the so called schools are putting into straight up political indoctrination. In some scary part of my head I actually feel empathy for the school shooters. As a kid all I had to worry about in school was whether I was a jock or a townie living in rural areas. In the city it was easier, am I white and speak English or not. These simple comparisons were all it took to know who you had to fight with.
I often wonder if the kids these days just get so confused about who to consider bad they just make it easy on themselves and choose everyone else. Or maybe it’s because they’re being guilt tripped into hating themselves?
Anyway, each and every individual child is just that, an individual. No statistical modeling or computer algorithms are ever going to understand this. The more they try abstracting and sorting them the more slip through the cracks. And the more of them become shooters.
