Natural child-like behavior has become criminalized.
Zero Tolerance has replaced common sense.

Well…I'm from a smaller town, and in high school, we had only a few problems. I did notice that the school hired a cop to patrol the hallways, which was creepy (we called him the rent-a-cop XD). He did arrest one student there in 2006 i think… she pulled a knife on another student, so I'm actually thankful that a cop was there. Schools are having to crack down hard on kids now, and unfortunately it's detrimental to the educational environment. I think the source of a lot of the discipline problems with some kids is the large gap between modern kids and their parents. Parents and guardians I think should take a more active role in their children's development and not rely completely upon the public educational system to teach them.
