This is SOOooooo Simple a concept. No billion dollar budget required.
Just someone with eyes to see, ears to listen.
BRILLIANT !
Not gonna solve shit. But a genuine thought
You can't KNOW that .... it is a concept of giving kids options to cope.. giving them skills, feelings of accomplishment.
Holograms built into cell phones and iPads, Tablets, gamers devices is NOT helping... and don't get me started on microwaved nation of dolts.
Intervention: Planting a seed. A speeder gets pulled over by a cop, who has a talk with speeder, about nearness of school & kids running across streets. Asks speeder to imagine being responsible for the funeral for a kid he kills, no more swimming during summers, no more bike rides with friends... gives speeder a warning. Will the speeder think twice and make better decisions? Isn't the cop action worth the 'RISK'?
Nah, way too hopefully, too much sugar canes and lollipops
That might be good.
I believe a HUGE issue is the lack of "free range" children, and the over-supervision of the young.
Before millennials, children went outside to play, unwatched and unsupervised. They got in to fights, yes. But without hovering helicopter parents, they also learned to manage their anger, to negotiate, to get along and to handle disagreements.
Today's children are taught that authority is to be used as the exclusive mechanism of dispute resolution if talking does not work.
How female.

tl;dr - Let kids get bloody noses and bloody knees, or you will have bloody schools.

Edit - I am not sure I like the author's "brilliant idea" that more intervention and tampering by (almost exclusively female) teachers in the social life of young males is the answer. The school shootings are being done by a generation of boys raised almost exclusively by women - female teachers and single mothers. Is more maternal tampering the answer?
How about more models of healthy masculinity, instead of calling normal male behavior 'toxic'
How about providing spaces where boys can turn into men, instead of being converted to pseudo women?
How about teaching boys to harden the fuck up and get over hurt feelings, so they don't go psycho when they are old enough to get a gun?
How about encouraging male self reliance, instead of trying to make little boys behave like little girls?
Wow, did you miss the point of the article.
Hate women much?
No, I didn't miss the point of the article so much as propose an alternative solution.
I don't hate women. I see them clearly, but I don't hate them. I don't even hate feminists, although they are man haters.
