Hi Gershon, a very sad situation. Remember years ago in grade school the more innocent things were? Yes, there were bullies and some disruptive students, but for awhile now is the ominous spectre of school shootings. Shalom

I jest watched a grainy video of a chemistry class at my high school in my junior year, 1967. The kids in it, my classmates, were refreshingly eager, enthusiastic, and fen-loving. Not indoctrinated, troubled, and depressed.

Like the nightmare from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. I never heard of this

Not something I am in favor of. Showing my ignorance, what exactly is this referencing? Sounds like something I should be totally aware of.

Not if you don't have children in school...
