Yet while we have hundreds of pages of threads about gun control and the NRA...crickets on that. IMO, it isn't JUST one parent families. It includes the fact that those families are primarily headed by females, leaving the male children no positive male role models to learn from. Boys never learn to become young men. Instead they are exposed to rampant emotionalism rather than reason and control to deal with issues.
At the same time-we have "parents" more concerned with being friends to their kids than to be parents. Children get zero discipline and once again, never learn how responsible adults act. They are taught that if they throw a temper tantrum long enough they will get their way. They are taught that they don't have to have any respect or consideration for others. We certainly have enough examples on today's college campuses.
Both of those lead to children, especially boys, with control problems in school. Instead of dealing with that, of instilling discipline and control, today's parents and school administrators just drug the kid to control them, rather than again, parenting or disciplining them. And once again-these children never learn to grow up, to learn self control, to become young men and women, rather than 18 year old toddlers.
About 75% of children in Iceland are raised in a single parent home.
They are born to couples who are unwed. Not the same. Iceland has a different view on marriage and the couples stay together.
But I’d like to point out that no one mentioned single fathers. Does that mean that when a couple separates the father is out of the picture? The child is the mother’s and the dad can move on to greener pastures and, hey, to live up to the age-old myth of manhood, spread his seed?
No, far from it. In most cases, the father is involved, and as involved as the mother. Many ex-couples try to live in the same neighborhood so that the kid can spend a week in each home, without interrupting school and activities.
Due to its small population, Iceland exudes a village feel, where you get to know a lot of the people around you. Your neighbours know who you are and are able to help you out if you need help.
Most people live close to family, so children grow up knowing their extended family and being able to rely on them (Source: Iceland Magazine). While Iceland does have high divorce rates, because of the closeness both geographically and socially, families are still able to function well regardless of whether the parents stay together or not.
They value independence
Like German parenting, Icelandic parenting seeks to foster independence in children from a young age. It’s not unusual for children to roam around town playing without adult supervision, or to walk to school by themselves at 6 or 7.
Due to the low crime rates, parents are less anxious about their children’s safety and instead encourage them to explore and play outside.
Who knew a household headed by a female caused Psychosis, including but not limited to Schizophrenia?
Better let the WHO, CDC and AMA know.
No ones saying or even alluding to that silly nonsense but you.
If you have a problem with the facts and the truth, that's on you. If you think single moms can raise boys and not experience more problems vs 2 parent families then your thought process is lacking on this subject.
Go ahead and tell everyone here why kids from single parent families are not at a disadvantage when the facts say otherwise.
Disorienting the shooter should be the first concern, so IMO we should use an old remedy. Maximum Fire Hose style pressure options, instantaneously, on sprinkler systems.
Yes some kids will fall and get hurt, but in all likelihood, with enough pressure, the shooter will fall also, and be unable to maintain a firm grip on his weapon.
All it would take is several strategically placed devices in principles office, plus at corners of school with long-tenured staff, latter preferably bio-metric turn on so only the teachers fingers can trigger the device.
Think of (unfortunately awful use here) Bull Connors.
That psi factor.
You're being facetious, right Bob?
This would be every 14 year old's dream: chaos at the flip of a switch. I wish they had them 50 years ago.

this is ridiculous but you (hopefully) already knew that.
how would you initiate the release of the sprinkler heads?
even if you did have a magic button to release the water at each of hundreds, if not thousands of sprinkler heads, the supply piping capacities would not be able to deliver the amount of water you seem to be imagining.
write to your congress representative instead, wouldn't do any good but it may save you some future embarrassment.
The saddest part about suggestions like the one in the OP is that, shooters will be aware of them, and they'll plan accordingly to work around them. Fire hoses, Sheriff's deputies, armed teachers, etc. There's a good chance a possible shooter would do their homework and be aware of all safety precautions in place and plan to do the most damage by staying away from them.

Wouldn’t that clearly be racist,in light of Birmingham and Bull Conner?
