Better, simpler times for sure. God knows where we are heading now.

I was in high school in the mid-70s and in "advanced chem." Being the "good students" we were given keys to the lab to we could work on projects during free time. Often those "projects" involved making things that went boom out in the woods. Today, the police, ATF and the FBI would be called.

I had a chem professor who once made a "bomb" using a one-pound block of sodium, a lake and an inner tube while at CAL. Broke out a lot of fraternity and sorority house windows.

I had a kid graduate in 2021 and one in 2022, still have two in school. The 2020 examples above are highly exaggerated. I guess that's either comedy or just to stir up conversation.

Yes, it's bad ... but not that bad.

Well... I see you haven't been to California or New York, and thats not just conversation either.

My daughter was suspended in the fifth grade for telling her friends at lunch about going to the range with me.

A boy was sent home from her school on Halloween because his costume was police uniform screen printed on a t-shirt. The "uniform" included a duty belt with a picture of a revolver in a holster.

A Boy Scout from my son's troop was hauled off in handcuffs because his pocket knife was forgotten in a pocket after a weekend campout.

I could go on

If I had children now I would be very careful what school they went to. Otherwise they would be home schooled.
