25th anniversary of Colombine.

.... and why people do the 'bad' things they do still hasn't been looked at very much.

Maybe they do bad things because bad things have been done to them. We can’t know people’s history unless it’s revealed, but troubled humans seem to have had very troubled childhoods.

As a society, We push hard to teach children to read and write. Push hard for good grades and homework and neglect to support them to learn about themselves as a human being.

Children arrive in the system already programmed by their earliest foundations, perhaps if the system focused on their social and emotional well being in those first few years and left all the pressures of curriculum out of the picture, we might repair rather than reinforce damage.
