Found on the Net - SCHOOL — 1957 vs. 2007

Diego August 14th, 2008

I was just trapsing around the internet today and ran across this.  I have seen it a few times, as I am sure most of you have, but it still not only makes me laugh, but cringe because of how true it is.

Scenario #1: Johnny and Mark get into a fistfight after school.

1957 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
2007 - Police called, SWAT team arrives, arrests Johnny and Mark… Charge them with assault, both expelled even though Johnny started it.

Scenario #2: Jeffrey won’t be still in class, disrupts other students.

1957 - Jeffrey sent to office and given a good paddling by the Principal… Returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again.
2007 - Jeffrey given huge doses of Ritalin… Becomes a zombie. Tested for ADHD. School gets extra money from state because Jeffrey has a disability.

Read the rest at the below link.  Enjoy
