Remember when nearly every major authority in the United States insisted that it was a good idea to send kids home from school, isolate them, and keep them from the most meaningful forms of social interaction indefinitely?
School districts across the U.S. say they are seeing a surge of student misbehavior in the return to in-person learning, after months of closures and disruptions due to the pandemic.
In the hallway between classes one afternoon this fall at Southwood High School in Shreveport, La., two boys exchanged words. All at once, they jumped at each other, witnesses said. Dozens of other students joined and they all fell into a heap, kicking and punching, until teachers pulled them apart.
The fight was one in a series of brawls in Southwood's courtyards and hallways on three subsequent days that led to 23 students being arrested and expelled...
Schools have seen an increase in both minor incidents, like students talking in class, and more serious issues, such as fights and gun possession. In Dallas, disruptive classroom incidents have tripled this year compared with pre-pandemic levels, school officials said. The Albuquerque, N.M., superintendent sent a letter to parents warning of a "rise in violence and unacceptable behaviors posted to social media" that have disrupted classes. The National Association of School Resource Officers said it has seen a rise in gun-related incidents in schools.
All of this is just totally out of left field. Could anyone have seen this coming???
Could this have been the sort of thing that even the most incompetent sociologist or child specialist could have warned about if not for the insane social climate of hysterical conformity that has persisted over the past two years??
Was this one of the worst public health ideas in the history of both public health and ideas????
