I don't know what school was like 40 or 50 years ago, but it was pretty much the same 20 years ago. Students didn't have social media to deal with when I was a kid, but they were still forced to sit in a seat for hours on end, unable to go to the bathroom without permission. One school I went to even locked the bathrooms before the bell rang, so kids wouldn't hide in them. If you had to pee at that time, you had to get special permission, then go across the entire campus. This pretty much meant you were likely to piss yourself.
School is torture. It has been for a long time. This isn't new. Just look at how many commit suicide due to school. Part of that is bullies but I would argue that it's still the school's fault, as they didn't do anything about the abuse the bully submitted the student to.
