i think that violence is schools is dangerous. school is becoming less and less safe each day
school is not a place where kids need to be scared. it distracts from LEARNING!
Violence is becoming really bad in schools. School is becoming more dangerous and it really disrupts learning.

violence at school is so not cool. if you really want to fight then go off campus so others wont be effected.
violence on school campuses is getting out of hand.
Violence in school is awful. Really, if someone wants to fight with someone else, do it outside of school somehwere were other people can't get involved! I especially hate it when people start a fight and then a whole bunch of kids go running towards it; thats dumb! Violence shouldn't be tolerated in school, anyone who gets into a fight should be like...expelled or something worse then suspension.
Violence in school is a horrible sad thing. Kids leave school when they hear rumors about fights it keeps students from learning
Violence in schools is really bad.
83% of school homicide or suicide victims were males!!

nice blog
i think that violec in school should not be okay you want to feel like your going to learn when you get to school not like your going to get shot or stabbed.
This is what a good portion of the blogs are talking about. they're offering ways to make your life safer, but consequentially reducing the ammount of freedoms enjoyed by the citizen, student, or member.
