I am under the impression that alcohol, tobacco, and pills are less prevalent now than in our time. And way less prevalent than in the 80s for alcohol, tobacco, and coke.
Cigarettes may be less prevalent, but a ton of teens vape. I have a freshman at a public school & she says the bathrooms are full of girls vaping between every class. Trashy.

Way fewer kids smoke based on my experience with a kid in HS. A lot of weed though.
Just a guess but I'd say maybe 25% of kids smoked weed when I was in HS. I think that's a good bit higher now, or at least the number of kids that have experimented with it.

Private school vs Public School
Too late
The correct answer is Catholic school when they still had nuns
Nothing like the good old days and learning the true meaning of the fear of god and a healthy respect for manners and adults.

The several posts about the drugs being more in private bc they can afford them is exactly what I’m talking about.

I went to a rural public school (that was ~90% white) and drugs were easily available if you wanted them. And I’m not just talking about marijuana. To think public school kids can’t afford drugs if laughable.

I went to an inner city public school in another state. I saw my first box cutter fight in 9th grade. Someone brought a gun to school in 8th. Lots of pregnant girls. I’d take $$ drug exposure over that.

In Rankin and Madison Counties in the 'Sip, with many good public schools, many parents go private so their kids can play sports. My kids went to public.

Private. All boys school after middle for my son.

Who cares what people think. I’d wager that they weren’t assholes when you were in school.
In Rapides Paris on the Alex side there are magnet options and one good public elementary.

We had some fist fights but I don't recall anything that extreme. My cousin knocked up his girlfriend in HS but it wasn't common.

That is why I made Catholic school (with nuns) separate from Private school
Catholic school was like 5 dollars a month for Catholics (discount for multiple kids) so in todays dollars that would be like 50 to 100 bucks in todays $$$$. You might have the occasional wealthy family but most were dirt poor to middle class at best. I was back in the days of the Latin Mass and the US military was less disciplined than an altar boy in my day. Real spit and polished and clothes ironed and starch pressed. Good posture was beaten into you by the nuns.

There are no special education kids there. You either do your work or you’re left behind. It is an educational system based entirely on attrition. The weak are culled from the herd, much like life.

There was a Catholic boarding school on the coast that educated many of my Louisiana family members (male only) but I thought it got wiped out in a hurricane in the 1970's, not sure it still exists.

Saint Stanislaus? It's still there. I remember a few "problem kids" I grew up with getting sent there

I went to a public school in bossier, late 70s early 80s. It was very average in every way. Rarely any fights, just normal teen stuff. Kids did get expelled which helped a hell of a lot.
Most of the kid who were expelled weren't poor. Just dumbasses with irresponsible parents.

There were some gravel pits in a neighborhood near our school and that's where you went to fight, drink, smoke. I only remember one fight in the actual school building and it was 2 ghetto chicks from Scotlandville that were part of the forced busing program at the time. Titties and weaves flying everywhere

From an overall perspective, you are better off paying more for a home in a better public school system than living in a crappy one and having to spend the money on a private school.
See HISD in Houston vs any of the surrounding nicer suburban areas.
Yup. Not like we could afford a safe area of Houston anyway lol but we are moving to Katy or Cypress come school time.
