Yeah because it happened in person.

You guys are way off on this one. It's not gun control, politics, phones, movies, videogames, music or bullying.

This is the direct result of: Awful parenting, a joke of an education system, un-checked and rampant mental-illness in a society that breeds sociopaths and rewards selfishness.

The education system isn't meant to breed intelligent people to begin with, but to me, the bigger issue here is the teachers.

You know what kind of an education you need to teach the 4th grade? That's right, a 4th grade education. Yet people spend 4-6 years getting a degree that says they can "teach" our youth in a school, and they promptly complain about wages and benefits and tenure, and not about class sizes, curriculum and healthy learning environments.

The problem further is the people who choose to become a teacher, don't realize that a teacher needs to be parental in nature. That as a teacher, you have agreed to take the place of a young person's parents, who must work for a living, for 1/3 of the day.

Teachers are NOT baby-sitters. They aren't baby-sitting our kids. They are educating them. And you need to be a parent to a child in order for them to learn. Most public school teachers are the people who reveled in high school and loved it. Some people just chose it as a job. Some really did think they could "make a difference" in someone's life.

But these people are also raised to be selfish, and within the already broken education system. Therefore, you have a cycle of this problem.

You know, I can remember almost all of the kids who bullied me in high school. None of them affected me long-term. You know what did stay with me for years though? Every single teacher who joined in on the bullying, or watched it and let it happen while doing nothing about it. Every "academic advisor" who said they didn't have patience for "immature" kids... Mother-(frank)er, your JOB is to have patience with an IMMATURE KID. Every gym teacher who made me run extra laps...

You know why that stayed with me more? Because adults are the ones with the power, not my contemporaries as a child. Those kids can say and do a lot of things, until they get their mouth punched. Suspended and back within a week. Guess who doesn't pick on me anymore?

But the teacher who called me a C U N T right to my face in 10th grade? I punch him, I would have gotten expelled and charged with a crime. Funny how that works.

As for the 5 kids who killed themselves during Junior year? I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I was talking to the same school psychiatrists as they were. And I can tell you that we were all 100% being ignored when we said it wasn't our classmates that were the issue - It was the teachers. That the ONE psychiatrist who actually challenged the Principals and superintendents got fired and blamed for the numerous suicides is evidence enough of what was going on in my school.

I walked into 9th grade homeroom my first day of high school, my teacher walks right up to me and says "I know all about you, trouble-maker, I know all your teachers from the middle school and they told me all about you. I'm telling you right now, if you disrupt my class I won't put up with it." And as I stood there, dumbfounded and fumbling over my words, his response was "Already talking back? Jesus, I knew you were going to be an issue for me" and sent me to the office my first day of high school. For literally no reason. Except he and his teacher buddies pretty much agreed to bully me before I even stepped foot in the school.

So, no, Fitz and C1067, it isn't phones. It isn't classmates and hurt feelings. It is systematic abuse from the adults who are supposed to raise us, educate us and support us as human-beings yet fail us at every facet of life as teachers, parents and friends. It's the people we are supposed to look up to, who ignore us and abuse us and don't do everything in their power to make us successful, not the people getting dragged through the mud with us in our youth.

This is unequivocally a parenting failure, from the top down, a large portion also due to a complete joke of a Public Education system, which is run by adults who fail to be compassionate and caring to their youth. Kids can deal with other kids. They do. Kids cannot deal with adults who dominate and rule over them with an iron fist. Which they do, for the most part.

But it's easier to look through a window than it is to look into a mirror, so it's really easy to say "It's phones and bullies".

I've worked in education the last 20 years and disagree with a lot of your statement with regards to teachers being the ones to blame. I see first hand the amount of hours and care they have for their students.

The issues i see most with teachers come from administration and the us vs them division. It seems like they're constantly work against each other The issues i see most with students comes from absent or bad parenting. A lot come from broken and poor homes where the only thing they have to eat or have some sense of stability comes from school

Brian Kelly's speech to his Notre Dame players lasted all of 4 minutes, for which they had to get up at 7am.

I just do not see it, plenty of built in excuses...

Anderson was great ,he got hurt. Thought he was ready, then his injury deteriorated....
Tokarski was fine, he got hurt ....
Upl was ready, we wanted to let him develop ....

The perfect storm of excuses.

This move was a designed dignified tank4... in the offseason.....

Do you really think they will address the situation with a real nhl goalie?

Murray would set us back until his contract is over.

Take the pick early this season.
Sign or trade for a goalie this offseason
