This is a multi-faceted problem and solutions should reflect more than a simple fix.

Where's all the rage coming from? Why isn't there this level of rage in all countries? What's different here?

Every school or sports program I have worked in has a kid like Nikolaus Cruz". My experience is the same as Dr. Naison: "no one wants to hear" or wrestle with the crisis (until it's too late). Think about that... More than 125,000 thousand schools (elementary through high school) in US... I would venture to say there are 3-4 children who's experience -- a combination of nature and nurture -- has put them on the same path as Nikolaus Cruz at every one of those schools. That is half a million kids no one wants to talk about, or that some want to believe will have a happy, fairy tale turnaround, and in the meantime we turn off the news and bury their heads in the sand. Meanwhile, those kids wake up every morning and come back to school...Daun Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209785789931194572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248065179634488001.post-27482248662883442002018-02-14T18:08:12.318-08:002018-02-14T18:08:12.318-08:00Thank you...
