I never allowed my kids to listen to rap music. In my opinion it's not music anyway. Hope I don't step on anyone's toes. I have no respect for a genre who's only intention is to promote violence, drugs and the degration of women.

I think, unfortunately, people will eventually homeschool their children. Lessons will come via the internet and there will be little social interaction.

I didn't homeschool my kids and am not an advocate for it. But if you get to a point where you don't know if sending your child to school is a safe thing, what's a parent to do?

We all take our lives into our own hands each day when we go out into the world. Heck, you don't even have to leave home.

They need metal detectors at schools, but unfortunately, they are very expensive and many districts don't have the funds. A security guard would be a good idea too with cameras and monitors. Kids don't need privacy at school unless they're in the restroom.
