Violence In Schools - Prevention Is Everyone's Responsibility
Parents send their children to school thinking their child will be safe, cared for and protected. Sadly many children experience violence in schools of one form or another.
Preventing violence in schools is a difficult and overwhelming task. Many school administrators offer on campus police officers to patrol the schools. Some schools have even installed metal detectors to ensure safety. Teachers and Administrators try to prevent violent behavior in school by enforcing a No Tolerance Policy, but there are only so many educators, administration and security compared to the vast student population.
