I was in high school more than 20 years ago and a lot of us had pocket knives even though we weren't supposed to.  If you got caught it was a suspension.  Men almost always carried them around in those days, and their sons imitated them. There were fights but I never heard of anyone taking out their knife during a fight.  

All that said, I'd prefer my kids go to a school where the kids have access to fewer weapons, rather than more.

As we say out in the country "bless your heart".

I think that Hunter Safety courses should be brought back to public schools (indoctrination centers).  Educate the children regarding firearms, how they work and what purpose they serve.  The only "education" that they get regarding firearms is much like yours, what they see on TV or on the internet.
