There’s been tremendous progress on combatting psychological harm in school since I was a K-12 student. For starters, many authority figures actually admit bullying is a problem now.

Still, the fact is when you stuff a bunch of adolescents into an environment that is:

• authoritarian

• understaffed and underfunded

• filled with a sense of boredom and existential uselessness that makes popularity contests the only currency

…then that environment •will• be toxic.

Soul-searching, folks.
