Yes Ron, it was all there when we were in school. But now it's at least 10 times worse. (and that's a conservative estimate) Anyone who hasn't been in the schools in the last decade (and being a parent doesn't count...just ask your kids 5 years later what really went on) doesn't have a clue to what is going on in the majority of public (and most private) schools. Many classroom teachers don't even see the reality of what a kid suffers. Usually in extracurricular or out-of-the classroom activities the reality shows through.
