Government has no business intruding into our basic rights. "The Right to Bear Arms" amendment of the US Constitution is very much appealing to me.
It's a bit messy over there but the right to defend yourself should be a basic right. With us, it doesn't exist. The idea that my child has to learn in kindergarten what to do if an idiot with a machinegun enters the school and starts shooting is a step too far. It says all about the society people grow up. With us, the fire alarm is hardly practiced. We have swimming classes and the alarm sirene going off at noon the first Monday of the month (fingers crossed at that time a nuclear bomb isn't dropped)..
(thousands live on living boats because of a lack of houses)
I meant that amendment was for people have the means to defend themselves when the government becomes tyrannical and oppressive.
I blame the gun violence in schools on teachers and parents failing to stop bullying and morality and God/religion/Bible not being taught anymore to children.
Do they have one for that as well? I wonder if not every country has one although it's not noticed and there are always "good" reasons to take that right away. It was made clear with the lockdowns of a few years ago.
With us there are 3 different schools. Catholics, Christians, and Public (no religion or the garbage can where everyone is welcome plus the level of teaching is the lowest). Next to that there are some special schools like "the free school", Jenna Plan, and some more. If not around the corner it can be your child has to travel for a few hours. If violence is higher at the 3rd school? If it has mainly to do with the foreigners and differences in norms and values (they say it's culture but that's just an excuse).
Public schools are worst. No morality teaching at all. My aunt in the USA sent her children to Catholic private school even though not cheap. She was horrified that public schools over there are full of undisciplined kids.
It's exactly what I see here too. It's no fun for a child to be among such a collection of students. I will never understand why they can't do a better job although more than once a teacher shrugged his shoulder and said he couldn't change the situation and the parents are not different from the child.
Once it was so bad that I said: wanna bet I can change it but you won't be happy if I do it because if you don't act and anyone touches my child again I am here with a baseball bat and hit the crap out of that kid.
Apparantly, that helped because the school cleaned up. That wasn't a public but Christian school with a bunch of losers ruling. So I switched schools again. I believe my children have been at least at 4 different primary schools. No way I let them be treated worse than a dog. It's what I see with many parents they don't care or just tell the child to hang in. Once a principal dared to say every child is unhappy at school and bullied. What kind of attitude is that? I told him that the years a child spends at school are too long to feel miserable.
I might be an idiot but I should think that teachers like children and do their best to make their school time a great time.
