Violence in Schools
The principals of three schools that saw
students die at the hands of other students this last year came
together Friday to offer not solutions, but advice for children,
parents and society. Interviewed on NBC’s “Today” show, the
three warned others that it could happen to anyone and that
metal detectors aren’t the answer.

NONE HAD a magic solution, but they did offer advice. Like working with
students so that they learn to tell adults about other kids who make threats.
And getting the entire community, not just schools, to look at the problem of
violent children.
