Prayer in school ought to make a comeback, one of these days. That way, ultimately, people, including students, might start treating others with a smidge more respect, again, like they once did, many years ago. Truly, based on what I have heard, that prayer in school was once practiced many years ago, I feel that is why many years ago, up until circa the 1960s, people learned how to treat others, including schoolmates, with respect.(Also even accounting for language not heard nearly as often, in like the 1920s, 1930s, or 1940s, as people knew how to treat others right.)
