I think a variety of sensible proposals have been made. However, all of them run up against institutions that have demonstrated, over and over, that they are not very interested in changes that would result in better outcomes for the “pupil personnel,” whether those outcomes are academic, social, or life-and-death.
However, it is always possible that the public will say, “Enough!” and demand change from the schools. Not probable, based on history and the current trajectory, but possible.
I agree. On the positive side, I think this might be that turning point. I don’t believe the status quo will remain. It is almost like conservatives are afraid to support defending the students for fear that the public will not support them. On the other hand, the media has managed to convince them that the people will not back them. I believe most of the country will support defending or children, and now is the best time to push that agenda.
