Public Alert

What year was it when public schools changed from teaching institutions to babysitters?

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.
So, is the safety of those who work, go to college, and go to private schools more important than the safety of those who go to public schools?
Also, when did students lose all respect for teachers–and when did teachers become such doormats?

   When states decided that children shouldn’t be punished by their parents the way they used to be punished. A good belt across the backside.

   I remember when teachers used to use pointers or rulers to get the message across about who was in charge.

   Also a lot of kids these days could care less if they get an education or not. As long as they hang out with their buds.
