Yeah. And kids are also being scarred when they get bad test grades so we need to boost their self esteem and not have tests. I believe in psych reports like I believe in the weatherman predicting next year's weather. However, before you can get to worry about what will happen in the long term, you have to get over the short term first. If you are not going to be alive in 20 days, best not worry about what is happening in 60.
So, if we agree to fight with swords and you see me bring a gun, what will you do? Fight me with a sword and keep your word or play with the rules at hand?

Dude, comparing kids' anxieties about tests to people's emotional problems that arise from having tortured people is just moronic, sorry to say.
It would be nice if we could magically identify the ones who were a serious threat, just winnow them out from the general population but it's never that easy. That's where the hydra-headed beast myth comes from: the damage you do to bystanders when you try to take out the bad guys will net you double or more the enemies you wipe out.
It was different in WW2 with G and J. They were the imperial agressors, spreading their troops out in other people's countries. Made them weak. It's like the bad guys stuck their heads out, ready for the sword in that kind of case.
