Violence in Springfield Schools

Bob Owens alerted me to a story running in the online Journal-Register about a rise in violent incidents in Springfield's schools. Most of it is student-on-teacher violence, and SHS has its share of these problems. Administrators blame the trouble on budget cuts, which have taken away counseling resources.

It's easy to say, "Why in our day, we wouldn't get away with that," which is true, but kids today face more problems, and have less family support, than we did.

On the other hand, can you imagine anyone laying a hand on Willard Duey or Cliff Tozer? Not to mention Marquerite Zimmerman?
