The potential for violence was much lower. The classroom work was less challenging. High School drug use was similar, although we rarely saw anything more powerful than pot or alcohol, with alcohol being the most accepted and therefor the most dangerous. I think today drug use is happening at a much younger age
ex we have had pot busts in our public elementary school here. Much of the problem lies with the breeding population. The worst cases are often kids whose grandparents are practically my age! The middle class has abdicated its responsibility for the future and I can't say I blame them. I won't submit my kids to the system, why should they?
I'm tossing around the idea of getting my Masters in Special Ed, its one area that has improved markedly since my time, unfortunately the number of kids in need seems to be much greater as well.
