It helps to read the entire article.
I am a retired teacher. I taught for over 20 years in small towns. My average class size was 18 students. The teachers knew all the student’s parents. The parents knew all the instructors. We were a community.
Most of my students were ranch kids, drove Ford pickups to school and had rifles racked in the rear window. There were never any gun incidents.....a few fist fights, but nothing more.
I guess what I am trying to get at is this. Schools are too big, classes are too large. There is no longer a sense of personal recognition nor community caring for each other.
Therein lies the danger to our children.
I read the article.
Sorry to tread on your sainthood and self-admiration.
What? Read the article vs shoot ignorantly from the hip? Where’s the fun in that?!!! /sarc
