The same year that all parents were forced into minimum wage, non-fulfilling, dead-end jobs?
I still remember, back in NYC, hearing that all major businesses private schools and universities were closed (due to blizzard conditions)–but NYC Public Schools remained open.

Also, when did students lose all respect for teachers–and when did teachers become such doormats?
