Society changes fuel discipline gaps in area schools
Officials cite shifting gender roles, faster maturing students, and stronger gang presence as factors behind rising disciplinary actions. Experts note aggressive behavior, casual profanity, and media influence, while family structure and parental monitoring also weigh in. Some blame TV, movies, and societal issues like divorce and teen parenthood for eroding student self esteem and supervision.

Brown notes O'Hare has grown about 4 percent this year and cannot accommodate projected increases. He describes adding an airfield with two runways opening in 2001 to ease delays and reduce noise, with environmental issues to be detailed in the master plan.
