I’m sorry but other obvious points missed are ...
1) We have students older than 18, still in grade school, mixed in with mostly younger ones. Once 18, there is not parental ability to control student/child. Legally child can’t be controlled by either parent.
2) At age 18 in many states a person at age 18, can legally purchase a firearm, no parent or guardian has to be in the loop. And yet, today’s school systems want him in class with the minor children. WRONG !!
Sorry, if one can legally get a gun at age 18, then I DON’T WANT that individual in school with minors. PERIOD.
My son turned 18 his senior year. Actually, most of the folks in my graduating class were 18. I was not. I was in college when I turned 18. My son owned rifles when he was in high school. He went hunting before school sometimes. He and his friends would get up very early and go hunting and then drive to school. I thought it was great that they had such initiative. We lived in the outskirts of Tucson at the time. A friend’s dad took care of carving up their kills. We had some good meals out of their early morning hunts. Son also worked at a shooting range his senior year.
There’s a point where allowing children to attend public schools is actually abuse.
