These are some good points, but it would still be wonderful to have more martial arts being taught in schools. There are schools that have it, but it's not common. Chuck Norris' Kick Start Kids teaches in schools and he has very much success in raising grades, instilling values, and how to react to bullying.
So it's not that we can't teach martial arts in schools, it's just not common and difficult, and it doesn't create a squad of kid heroes that can disarm crazy people with guns. Some school districts have a contract with one big martial arts place, so there are schools that can't have a different martial arts class than the one they have a contract with which means there are schools with no chance of having any martial arts class unless the contracted one sets up the class. I know that San Antonio College in my local area has a Tai Chi class you can actually get college credit for.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
