All children have the right to a high quality education.
NASW believes Al Gore will share that goal. Sadly, some students also bring knives, guns and other weapons. NASW believes children have the right to learn in a safe, nurturing environment. School social workers, by helping children deal with emotional and behavioral problems, increase chances for academic and social success and decrease the risk of school violence. Al Gore's plan to save our schools and NASW's educational priorities put children and their education first.
