I was in HS in the 80s. If a teacher reported you to your parents, a) the teacher was believed and b) more often than not the kid got their ass whupped by their parents.
The modern phemonenae of divorced parents and helicopter parenting was just getting started then, so teachers would not get a "how dare you accuse my little angel" from parents often. Even the modern trend of kids being driven to school was not common, I walked to HS all 4 years, and about half my graduating class had cars when they graduated. My brother walked to grade school, and Jr High, and drove a scooter to HS.
It was certainly approached more balanced and rationale back then.
Today just about every company, institution, and professional would rather throw a person to the wolves for political and monetary convenience than ever bother to defend someone with a solid defense.
Oh, unless that person just HAPPENS to be a LGBTwhatever, an ethnic minority, or a woman.
