OT Student Invents Bulletproof Wall For Classrooms

And when was that? You guys keep talking about schools and most of you are in your 60s or older. What's your most recent experience with the current situation in our education system?

Here's mine.

My grandson is 11.

He left a poorly-run public school for a charter school the last 2 years.

He flourished there.

As a bonus, they taught him cursive writing, which unbeknownst to me our public school system has abandoned for who knows why?

The Constitution is written in cursive, so maybe they don't want students to learn what it really says.

RARE????? WTF do you think has been happening over the last several years. One shooting is too many.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/21/us/school-shooting-us-versus-world-trnd/index.html

288 shootings since 2009. That's around 2/3 of a full year worth of shootings in less than 10 years.

Alcohol kills massive numbers every day!

Easily preventable!

Where's your fake outrage?

that's not because of schools...they go to school every waking hour in asia...go to school after school...

That's called slavery.

Or socialism if you prefer.

It's not living, not really.

Sorry you had it bad but my nieces, nephews, great niece, great nephew were learning calculus in high school as well as chemistry more advanced than I had and I learned the shell structures when I was in high school.

You should try an urban or suburban school and get out of those rural schools.

Lol i went to Jesuit.

Actually, many of the best surgeons in the world learned primarily by remote tv and the internet, in far less time than the traditional college route.

Brick and mortar schools from kindergarten on up have just about run their course and you'll be seeing a new kind of home schooling in a couple decades as just about everything we do will be at home, on a screen.

Traditional schooling spends a year teaching you a month's worth of knowledge. So much wasted time and distraction, unwanted indoctrination, travel time, pollution caused by travel, enormous cost...

I believe they may have had at least a medical degree first.

It upsets me any time someone is killed regardless of how. Your post was a pretty lame comparison though as gun deaths continue to rise while alcohol related car deaths have been on the decline due to organizations like MADD and passing more stringent laws. With the gun industry it's turn the other cheek and ignore the issues.
