School Violence, Is There a Problem?
             There is definitely a problem with school violence today. The last three years have shown
             us that violence in our schools society is more common today then ever before. Whether
             the violence has to do with guns, knives, or just a simple fight, school violence is getting
             a little out of hand. There have been several school shootings in the last few years, and
             the number of school shootings seems to be growing rapidly these days. When the last
             figures were taken by the government educators had found more then 2,000 weapons
             stashed by students in lockers, backpacks and pockets in the 1996-97 school year. These
             school shooting and the findings of all these weapons makes parents wonder if their
             children really are safe at school anymore. When parents begin to worry about their
             children at school, everyone should realize there is far to much violence at school. School

             school. Every child has the right to an education in a safe and secure environment, and

             everyone may recognize but not everyone is doing something to help prevent it.

             February 1996, in Moses Lake, Washington. Barr...
