The CRUELTY and ABSENCE of EMPATHY IS stunning. I attended public schools when teachers closely monitored recess; scenes that you described simply did not happen in my Hyde Park ( Chicago,IL)1964 or South Paterson ( Paterson, NJ)1965-1973 schools. Of course teacher's unions had not yet "invaded" either. As a child who grew up to be a public school and private college teacher, on my watch no student should ever have to feel unsafe/terrorized at school.🤨😢😱
