It is being addressed with metal detectors and police officers in our schools. It is being addressed by training the cream of the crop in our schools to be peer mediators, ignoring opportunities to include all the other children who need the skills. It is being addressed in one or two hour staff development workshops for teachers once a year. It is being addressed by expanding prisons, trying children as adults, creating tougher laws. We have school funding for improvements in technology, like new computers, test answer key scanners, and sports, while funding for conflict education training is minimal or non-existent.
Schools blame parents for the problems, while parents blame the schools.
The truth is that there is no one thing to blame. We have a societal problem. As long as we blame any one 'thing' we will not take responsibility for 'our' role in the problem. If we don't take responsibility for our role as an important and contributing member of the affected society, we will not achieve the peaceful and safe world we desire for our youth and ourselves. Look in the mirror.
