The Crisis Of Violent American Unrest And Criminality Begins In Classroom

In the last decade, America has seen a large rise in violent unrest. It began really in 2016 with the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, and took off from there. Since then, we have had multiple violent riots, and seen some cities lose the war against violent crime like murder. Most of the crime has been committed by people who are uneducated and have no other choice but a life of felonious activities.

Which ultimately begins in the classroom. Education is a key cog in going down a road of committing crimes. Those who are educated typically understand consequences and are more likely to advance themselves in some professional field. Stats show that about 75-percent of criminals dropped out of school before graduating. But it is not entirely on the student either, schools have totally lost control of students with no accountability for bad actions.

Education expert Jean Burk says though while the problems begin in the classroom, it goes back even further.

"It starts at the home...we see the breakdown of the family, which carries over to school...so this decline of our school system and our kids does not surprise me at all," she says.

If students are not getting reprimanded at home for bad behavior, they will continue it at school. In today's world too, the schools also do nothing about it. Used to, getting in trouble at school was a huge deal, even just 20 years ago. You got a huge punishment at school, then got it all over again when you got home.

But that has totally changed. No one wants to be a parent; they want to be friends with their kid. There has been a new wave of indifference to punishing kids for doing bad things both in school and at home. That is a major component that has brought us to this new era of criminality.

"Once you start removing what kids need...they need love, God, and the rod. They need equal doses of all those...and there has to be a painful consequence to a bad behavior," says Burk. "Families have backed off from that, and we live in a world where you reason with kids, or gentle parenting...and it does not work."

There are still some very good parents out there, not all are the same. Many have raised wonderful, well-mannered children who understand consequences for actions. It has just gotten fewer and farther between.

The ones who have woken up to this though have started taking matters into their own hands by taking their children from failing public schools.

"Homeschooling has increased 61-percent int he last decade...and there are now 95,000 micro-schools, which is double from 2021," Burk says.

But it all goes back to the classrooms. A lack of consequence creates encouragement of more bad behavior. Fixing it will take a while. Burk adds that if schools do not get in line, you may see more of them close up shop.
