I'm going to attempt to explain the other thread I started regarding this topic.
I had started writing the thread many different times, knowing in my head, exactly the point I wanted to make. However, it all turned into a jumbled mess, that was confusing to the reader, to say the least. Plus the fact of plagiarism coming into account where the thread was concerned. I know what plagiarism means, but was unaware of the fact, the lines in which someone was quoted, had to be in quotations. I never meant to imply the lines, were my original thoughts. I had thought by my saying "She said:", and then following it, by something the person said, was enough to make it known, that it was not "me" saying it. I apologize for my ignorance as far as that is concerned, and will remember the correct way of doing it in the future.

Having said that, the point I was trying to convey in the other post, was the fact of me thinking, that the school shootings, or the shooters, I should say, are a product of the way in which our society goes about raising their children.

And I wanted to reinforce my belief with the writings of Maria Montessori, in which she states some very convincing points of view, as far as what is being done to children in the early stages of their lives. As far as them being stifled, when it comes to acting out what should be a normal part of their learning process.
I have seen it with my own daughter, when it comes to my grandson, doing things for him, that he can, and very much wants to, do for himself. But she says it is much quicker if she does it herself. I believe most parents are guilty of this, because of time, or lack of it, being an issue in everyone's life.
What they do not realize, is a very important part of that child's psyche is being damaged by not letting them do it for themselves. And it is my belief, that this damage continues throughout their childhood, to the point of having the horrible effect of growing up and acting out these stifled , frustrated feelings by becoming one of the ones who does the shootings.
I am well aware that children have horrible living conditions, and do not resort to going out and shooting people. But, I also believe that this is a large part of it.
I have been a supporter of Maria Montessori, and her method for years now. And it is my belief she was far beyond her time in solving some of society's major problems when it comes to humanity itself.
