“Isn’t it amazing that back in the days of “the blackboard jungle” movie the teacher actually took it upon himself to do something about the situation? Today’s teachers are terrified sissies.”
“...took it upon themselves...”???
Today, for that, they would be handcuffed and walked down the hall to the laughter and jeering of the students. It would be professional and financial destruction.
You are absolutely correct. However, they can blame themselves and all who came before them who progressively let this happen through the past years.
In the hippie movement in the latter part of the 60’s a general attitude was formed against any social rules and from that point forward, the rot began.
Another fact is that the majority of hippies were of collage age and did attend our universities and guess where many went after graduation? That’s right! To our public and private school systems as TEACHERS and ADMINISTRATORS.
From that planted “seed” liberalism grew uncontrolled and our schools and “so called” places of higher education have expanded as year passes by.
You've got a point there.....any attempt to fix the problem would meet with firm resistance by the commies.....
