I think the government should send in police officers and have them talk to the kids. Over the last couple years violence in schools have rose dramatically. And the government school compromise with the school to have more drills to practice
time and time again you hear people saying that we need to try to include all students and prevent bullying. you hear that interacting with students and providing intervention are key. yet the only solutions you actually se put in place are medicating students. we all hear that if someone is threatening the school or other we are supposed to take it seriously. yet none of us do because people joke around all the time and it is hard to know when people are serious. the school makes efforts to punish but not to understand if they would take the time to help the problem students instead of sticking them in detention they would build bonds of loyalty with the student and make it more likely that they wouldn't attack and would make efforts to prevent attacks.
the govenment doesn't actually try to change things only to apear concerned
