Category of problem: School
safety
Level of problem: Local
This is a problem/issue that individuals/families face.
How does this affect individuals/families? With school
shootings becoming such a reoccurrence, parents fear for their children’s lives
at the one place they should feel the safest, school.
My view on this policy: The school shootings happening in
America are becoming more prevalent and when you wouldn’t expect horrible acts
of crime to happen near you, it does. Children should feel safe when they are
at school. False alarms or joking about someone having a weapon is not a
situation that will be taken lightly. School shootings are a serious issue and
they are a huge problem in America. I feel like I hear about a shooting almost
once a week. Families face the fear of sending their children off every day
into a scary world. It has gotten to the point that I feel security should be
vamped up and police or security teams should monitor schools or at least be
patrolled. It is a scary thought but I rather have the necessary precautions
taken rather than be a victim of another shooting. As a parent of a soon to be
elementary school student, my worries are becoming stronger and thoughts of
home-schooling are starting to cross my mind. I can’t imagine being a parent of
a student who has been involved in one, no matter what age the child is.
