therapy, individual and group, for students in school being a regular part of everyone of the students activities would go a long way. An emphesis on psycological development for our youth instead of fuckn common core would be a start.

That could be a start. People would want an opt out clause, proly, due to the negative stigma psychotherapy still has, luckily it reduces every year. Maybe even more training for teachers to help them identify potential issues for kids, but schools would also need the authority to help them enforce counseling or disciplinary measures. A friend of mine teaches for Houston ISD and had one of her 4th grade students brandish and threaten another student with a shiv made from scissors. The kid received an hour of detention for the infraction because the parents hold all the cards in terms of legitimate discipline. Stuff like that doesn't help a classroom, but there's almost nothing a school has to fall back on in terms of discipline that wouldn't negatively effect their budget, expulsion removes the kid from the registry and funding is based primarily on student population.
