LOL. Good one. Good to hear from you again. This, too, is not just isolated to Atlanta. IF REPORTERS would do their jobs they would find this to be the case nationwide. The discipline problems in the public schools are far worse than people know and something has to be done about it.

BTW, you know that thing you phone called me about?

A little research shows you were right. ¡Ay caramba!

The discipline problems in the public schools are far worse than people know and something has to be done about it.

I kept looking in this article to find how many students and how many schools were included in Gwinnett county, but if that number is there, I missed it. It's a large county.

That being said, the discipline in the public schools is outrageous - it would be particularly shocking for anyone who graduated before the mid-1970s to visit a public school now and see what goes on, I think.

The major reason for that is, many parents don't discipline their children, and they don't want anyone else doing it either. If the school tries (even if it's not corporal punishment), too many parents want to threaten a lawsuit.
