The Shocking Real Reason Behind The American School Shootings

Shockingly, there have been 74 shootings in American schools over the last 1.5 years (1 per week). To say that American schools have become battle zones would be a massive understatement. Since this doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world and since I wasn’t born nor brainwashed in the US, here are my two cents.

I moved to the US when I was 15 years old and immediately dropped into an American high school. It was a culture shock. Here is what I think is causing the shootings.

Most American High/Middle Schools Are Subpar Cattle Ranches/Prisons: I didn’t go to a bad high school. On the contrary, it was ranked as one of the better schools in my city/district, yet coming from a different country I felt as if I was dropped into a prison. The level of education simply sucked. In many cases I knew more than my teachers did. More importantly, 98% of the teachers didn’t give a shit about any of their students and the students didn’t give a shit about any of their teachers. There was an absolute disconnect between the parties. Any and all interactions were on the surface. Basically, it was a place to unload the kids, for whatever worthless purpose, for about 8 hours a day.
Disintegration Of American Society: Instead of blaming guns, musicians, etc….people should wake up and blame the parents. “Oh, I didn’t know my little Johny was crazy”….. BS, someone needs to start prosecuting the parents. In the America we live in today only two things count (for most people). 1. Money and 2. Image/Ego. As opposed to providing a stable and a loving home environment most American parents work 24/7 so they can keep up with the Joneses, be able to afford 2 massive SUVs and a 5,000 sqft overpriced McMansion. And I am not even talking about the 50% divorce rate. At the end of the day, a lot of American parents are in it for themselves as they become completely disconnected from their kids.

Unfortunately, the wrong priorities associated with greed and achievement/image in America is what is causing all of these shootings. And while many will disagree, this is my view as an outsider going through the American school system.
