Knocked it outta the park.

From elementary on up, schools across much of the US/Canada have never had less power to enforce any discipline. 'Discipline' is a no-no word itself. In trying to correct past over-suspensions (a legit issue), very little exists now at any level to correct shit behaviour. And it carries on up the line to highschool.

It’s growing because: 1. Schools can’t do anything meaningful about bullying if the bully’s parents don’t care. Kids are getting abused by bullies and schools have zero power. Parents are taking it into their own hands. 2. Social media has made it easier than ever to spread nonsense and get people riled up, including parents.
