I sat through an IEP meeting once with a kid who was either bouncing off the walls or sleeping through class. The parents were at their wits' end and wanted us to figure out the issue before they went to a psychiatrist. I asked the parents what the kid had for breakfast; cold pizza, a candy bar, and a coke. Almost daily. Of course the kid was a mess, they were loaded with cheap carbs and sugar crashing! I asked if they would consider protein shakes or bars instead and they balked. Wouldn't even think of trying that, but wanted to chem up their kid.

Kid ultimately ended up in alternative school when the meds made things worse.

The year after Columbine, our district had a program were "potential school shooters" were identified. It was a long list of behaviors and characteristics and a specific number had to be checked before the district would step in. One kid checked almost every box.
We had a meeting with the parents and the kid. The parents said they had multiple guns in the house and they did not and would not keep them locked away. The kid was in alternative school within a few months for various infractions and the father was charged with murder about 3 years later. He's still in prison....and I imagine his kid is there also.

Once upon a time, back when kids faced serious repercussions at home for getting in trouble at school, you’d likely find in high school parking lots across this country vehicles with guns hanging in back window racks and kids didn’t even think about shooting up their school.

What caused the change in thought processes? Could it be a result of more disengaged parents, schools being unable to enforce disciplinary actions or kids just not being held accountable by anyone for bad behaviors? 🤔

Or troubled kids with easy access to guns and adding the fact that they see others do it and it gives them ideas.

I realize you are ultimately talking about a failure in parenting (I agree).

Others might seek link “insanity”/mental health/anti-depressants/etc with gun rights. That’s a dangerous road imo.

Or it’s the fact that leftists stepped in on parenting and made it illegal to whoop that ass when they need it. Ever since, every generation is softer and softer. Now it’s at the point a kid can’t take being picked on because he’s been coddled and held without consequence his whole life.

There’s an easy fix to what little of an issue does actually exist. End compulsory education

Algebra five schools shouldn’t exist. Any student whose behavior is incompatible with learning environment should be moved online and a meeting held at the end of the semester or year to determine if they can safely return.

A lot of issues with “school safety” are created by a false left wing notion that everyone has a “right” to a public education

On line? That's even funnier.
At what age to you think a child should no longer be required to go to school?
5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15?
No age?
