Schools can’t do it all

Schools can’t do it all

Ironton (Ohio) Tribune: Maybe school violence isn’t on the rise but recent tragedies have caused incidents to be taken more seriously.

From bullying to full-blown fights, incidents of kids behaving badly seem to be growing.

But, that may not exactly be the case, according to local law enforcement agencies. In fact, this type of behavior has been going on for years but was handled discreetly by the schools or just dismissed as “kids being kids.”

Still, we also must ensure the safety of all the students that attend our schools.

Parents must do their part too.

We simply cannot expect our schools to provide all the necessary discipline and guidance needed for some youth.
