You have to get over this idea that more government is going to solve problems. In reality, it will make it worse. I take it that we can dispense with Homeland Security and the new powers for the FBI and intelligence community then.

I doubt that more one to one contact with students would make matters worse, and at private schools it would hardly be "more government", would it? In fact private schools tend to have lower ratios. Imagine! At public schools I rarely think of lower staff ratios as "more government"- but ok, we'll call it that for you. Even though higher staff levels might be more effective (although I accept you do not think so), they could cost too much- but there may a better balance then we have now. Obviously if you don't see any benefit to counselors or dorm monitors with mental health training you won't see that, but I think most people would find some logic there, even if you do not.
