Thread retrospect with links...Q: why is hazing allowed? Were those shooters giving all of America a message? Kids are forced together at school every day. They can be extremely cruel. The least we, as parents, can do is try to make it a better, more tolerant place for them. And, that's where teachers should step in and not allow any of it. Zero tolerance for picking on others! Why is that such a difficult thing to do? Parents who don't give a damn what their kids do ...too busy pursuing the "American dream" (read: "getting ahead", fulfilling their own material needs isn't everything, it's the only thing...) See:Message 9105210 Message 9095578 Message 9102943 Faceless Modern Suburbia has been discussed playing a role in detachment from the community and giving rise to hazing behavior - See:Message 9061886 Message 9141593 Schools that don't give a damn about hazing and/or are too incompetent or blind to the problem . This includes a compulsive over-emphasis in sports and the public school monopoly...if you don't like how they are handling (or refusing to handle) the situation then go pay for your child to go to private school or home school.
