I am not saying that there are not knives and guns in schools now. it is a problem. However, plenty of people were bringing them to school long before the eighties.
Now as to the kind of parenting the school shooters have had, I was asking you an actual question. Where is your research from. Now I know. Now as for the spanking thing. No, I do not spank my kids. I do make them do push-ups and run laps though. I also do not let them have any electronics in their room, except to occasionally take a player in there to listen to a CD. I am pretty strict in many ways. Yes I could focus on this faucet thing, but you have to pick your battles. I have three kids for whom I am primary care giver. This is a problem I prefer to avoid than keep up with. Now, if anyone who helped with my original question is still reading, I appreciate your answers.

As far as knifes and guns in school. Does a metal detector say something. All grade schools up to high school in Ohio and many other states have them. Just about every school shooting has a movie done on it also does Columbine ring a bell? At 09:38 AM 5/15/2007, you wrote: >Where are your facts on the parenting of the school shooters coming >from?
