I get the alleged logistics of it. What I am saying is that it’s weird authoritarianism from a young age. Our teachers just trusted us and there was rarely a problem.
Once in a while a kid would bring a knife to school. What did our schools do? Talk to the kid and his parents, make sure he understood that it wasn’t okay. What does America do? Install metal detectors in all the schools. America has an “authoritarian first” approach to solving every problem it seems- even little kids who need to go to the bathroom.
Apologies- I’m not trying to lecture you personally. I know this isn’t your personal doing. I’m just observing generally how twisted it all is.
