When I attended a public high school during the late 1950's I felt totally safe and certainly did not have to enter the buildings through metal detectors as students must now do at that same school. There was no police station in the school as there is now. Also most students attending that school graduated back then and a large percentage went on to college. That same school now graduates just under 62% of its students.

I graduated high school in in 1960. SAT scores peaked in 1965. It has been down hill ever since...
