I stopped to watch kids playing at recess – security was called
It seems wierd to me where society has gone. In my dad&#x27;s high school, they literally brought rifles to school. There was a gun range at the school. Yes, it had to be bagged up and unloaded but you literally brought a 22 with rounds to school.<p>My era? Zero tolerance for mean words. I got suspended 1 day because I told people I got a highlighter. They thought I said lighter and tattled on me. Teachers never found the lighter but I was suspended no less. I got suspended once because a friend of mine was planning to come to my house after school. Asked me to carry his bag. Unbeknowst to me he was running off to try to get into a fight off school premises. Never actually got into a fight. But I was suspended for zero tolerance helping&#x2F;assisting a fight.<p>Now we are in the era where schools have metal detectors, police on staff and actively walking around in the schools, and harassing people over literally nothing.<p>It&#x27;s interesting to me. Obviously lots of science have determined all of this was bad. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;supportiveschooldiscipline.org&#x2F;zero-tolerance-policy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;supportiveschooldiscipline.org&#x2F;zero-tolerance-policy</a><p>But instead of admitting there was a mistake... they just doubled down on bad policies? Idiots.
