I graduated high school in 1970. We had a very large school - approximately 3000 students and we had two shifts. We did not have “resource officers”. We had zero shootings or stabbings. I did not know of one girl who was pregnant. Our school did not have a daycare for students’ babies. For the most part, we liked and respected our teachers. At the entrance of the school was the school seal in the floor. No one walked over it out of respect. I understand that today it is roped off so no one walks on it.

How far we as a society have fallen.

You forgot a few things. No metal detectors. No guards. No locked doors.

One thing we did have in abundance then that is in short supply today, shame. No one has it any more, from the president on down.

I graduated high school in 1980, my experience was very similar to yours. No metal detectors, no guns, no knives, no pregnant girls, no daycare for student's babies and by the way -- no gay agenda being forced upon us either. If anyone was gay, they kept that shit to themselves like they should've.

No one suing the school for any "equal access" bullshit, no suing the school because a teacher physically stopped a fight from happening or yelling at a student to behave.

Back then parents backed the teachers if their kids screwed up in school and the punishment wasn't just a detention - we got punished at home too.

Yep, this country has gone to shit.
