No, it's a culture problem with educators, students, and parents. Teachers who adopt a factory-style production line method of one-size fits all teaching rather than individualized attention; administrators going on power trips and going with unreasonable no-tolerance policies; students being disruptive and disrespectful jackasses, bullies, and gang members; parents who can't teach their kids respect or anything else but insist on banning books or teaching creationism; misplaced focus on sports, etc.

or from a government system gone awry, hasn't changed since their time.

I support the the right to own weapons, but I have to point out that a gun will not protect someone from a government that has an army with tanks, jets, and missiles, unless ordinary citizens have the right to own those too.
