In other words - almost nothing has changed in school since the dark ages. 
I went to a private school in the '60s. Plenty of fire arms, and the 
senior class got pretty loaded Friday noon. My father's tales of high 
school in the early WWII war years suggest that there were _fewer_ guns, 
and somewhat less alcohol, but just about as much vandalism and general 
trouble. 

Family tradition has it that a great-grandfather taught with a 38 on the 
desk for a week, to let the farm boys who were larger than he know that he 
did _not_ intend for them to try out his manhood in combat. (Fighting with 
the teacher has a long history in this country I'm told.)
