I’m enjoying Manhattan descending into chaos way more than I should.
I’m not a parent, but it seems to me that you have to vote with your feet and get your kids out of that environment ASAP. There was no violence (literally zero) in my childhood. I can’t imagine how it impacts children to be with other students who have such impulsive and spontaneous violence, but I wouldn’t wait to find out. The culture of violence among urban minorities is the essence of the crime problem, despite what the President says about the gun problem. If I were raising kids today, rather than coping with it - I would move away and let others cope with it.
