What they need:
1) Paddles.
2) Severely limit using drugs to control behavior
3) Separating boys from girls and recognizing that boys have different learning approaches and needs and have more divergent behavior and skill sets.
Teachers like girls because they cluster around a mean and are easier to control. They want boys to be like girls so it is easier for them. Drugs have been the solution.
So Obama failed them?
Now they are 17th.
It's high time to give control back to the individual states.
“books and school supplies as well as time and resources.”
1. Exactly which books will stop school shootings?
2. Exactly which school supplies will stop school shootings?
3. This is a no-go. There is no way to make MORE time, you can only utilize the minutes, hours, days that you have in a better manner.
4. Exactly what resources given to teachers will prevent school shootings?
I would be interested to ask them why in the days of one room schoolhouses, boys usually got hunting rifles or shotguns for birthday presents (like my great uncle did) and they weren’t mowing down their teachers and peers if they had such easy access? And my uncle probably was that good deal more thoughtful and literate with a grade 8 education than probably that great many coming out of California’s universities these days.
Seems to say a lot about the closed union shops public schools have been for a number of years (and me and my family got to see a nasty example of this a while back that helped influence me to become a conservative).

Take a serious look at the effects of mind-altering meds. Look at other factors. Are computers causing isolation? Are there enough extra-curricular opportunities so that marginalized students can be given an opportunity to contribute? Has our violent, valueless culture destroyed any chance at a values-oriented environment in a lot of schools?
As far as this posting goes, it does seem that the NEA is whining for more of the same. More money for books and supplies? News flash....that's not the problem.
Wait just a minute. Obama already supplied the Dept. of Education with weapons and ammo. Remember all that buy up of ammo a few years ago? Where did all that go, huh???
Well, in Blackboard Jungle, ask Mr ‘Daddio’ if he would rather have a new eraser or a .45 under his shirt.
IF the ‘students’ would have even suspected he was carrying the whole attitude of the class would have greatly improved.
Arming them with posters of the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments in each classroom would be a great start!
And then, start classes in REAL American History & good citizenship for K-12 kids.
Maybe by the time a kid graduates FRom High School, he/she will have an understanding and appreciation for what the “essence” of being an American is!
Hogwash. The USA spends 10X more than most nations on Earth and we get some of the worst results. The Public School system, like the FBI, need to be dismantled and rebuilt as non-political, constitution supporting, entities.
Perhaps the books could be covered in Kevlar or have Kevlar pages to deflect bullets.
