I think society has changed in a huge way. I can tell you I went to high school in the 1980's and we had no cops in the schools, and no bully reports or any of the things that schools try now, and you might get your ass kicked on any given day but no shootings were happening, no cops were called, and we just learned to deal with things. I have school age kids and I can tell you the way the schools are run now and how the students act is so different to when I went to school its almost foreign to me. Then again, I went to school when they would still beat your ass with one of these.
