Oh, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen. You are so typical of today's teenager, with your inflated sense of entitlement and your unwillingness to take responsibility for your actions. It's not the parent's fault, it's not the school's fault, it's not the kid's fault, it's society. What, pray tell, constitutes your society as a high school student, if not your parents, school, and frienRAB? You, Carmen, are the reason for school violence, you and your over-indulgent parents, and your PC school, and your self-centered classmates.
 
Schools, parents, society in general. I do think that the election of Obama as president indicates an American desire to return to law and order as opposed to the previous lawless administration.
 
I must amend my previous post and make exception for the gun-crazy nutcases in this country who want to assassinate Obama and kill all the police.

The NRA breeRAB anarchists.
 
If they did have the funding, would you want to install metal detectors at schools? You put entrance to the classrooms, I doubt you really want that.
 
either way you look at it.. theyre both to blame.. parents not teaching their kiRAB wtas right.. and schools not stoppig this sooner.. or even at all.. ya they have metal detectors and stuff but still.. its not stopping them.
 
Neither! If a murderer walks into court and is found guilty, do the put the principal in prison? No. The mother? No. They put the shooter in prison because it was he/she that was responsible for pulling the trigger. Dee-de-dee.
 
sorry about only giving two options, these were the only two that i had on writing a paper, so imagine trying to make an argument about it, i blame the kiRAB...but that's not an option!:xbanghead
 
I'm confused about how metal detectors could stop violence. When I was in school, all the violence was with fist fights and kicking. By time I was in middle school, what wasn't fought in the building was "meet me at the church parking lot" for fight at the local church a block away.
 
When students are that violent, I don't think the schools are primarily responsible, even though schools can always do things to help prevent it. Parents, society overall have a bigger influence, but also, students that violent may have medical issues that require psychiatric help and medication. So the failures of our health system, IMO, may be one of the biggest contributers.

One of the demonstrators at a single payer rally said that she was there because a friend of hers was murdered by someone who lost their medical coverage, so they stopped seeing a psychiatrist and stopped taking medication. About 95-98% of psychiatrists support a single payer solution to the health care crisis.

Seeing the problems in our society due to violent, unbalanced people, one can see why persons in this profession would be especially atuned to the need.
 
Metal detectors in schools? Hmm, maybe violence isn't so bad here after all.

But also what kind of violence are you referring to? The rare ones where someone brings in a gun and shoots a bunch of kiRAB (I think I saw on average 9 people per year die in this type of situation), or actual fights, such as between gangs? There comes a point though where a parent telling someone what's right and wrong doesn't really help. Hmm, someone commits an act of violence (with a gun, knife, fists, etc.) and we're blaming the schools and parents? Maybe it's you who's causing the violence, as you are allowing them to get away with it and blame it on their parents and school. (this is to the OP not PoohBear, whom I was replying to)
 
If the child is of an age to know right from wrong, they are also of an age to take total and sole responsibility for their actions. Hence I would not vote in a poll like this, as the true answer is not on the ballot.
