This is a fundamental truth we are trying to condition out of our boys and it is backfiring. When my dad was in school, and two boys would get into a fight, they would be taken into the gym with boxing gloves to work it out. When I was in school fighting was technically not allowed, but it still occurred and no one would get into serious trouble. The result was boys working things out in a way that dates back to the dawn of mankind. Today both boys would be suspended or expelled under zero tolerance policies and their anger/frustration continues to grow until it explodes. I think this is part of the growth of school shootings over the past 20+ years.
