Promoting safe and healthy environments in the children
can learn and develop is a universal goal. Fortunately, most American
schools offer such an environment. At some schools, however, there are
problems of crime and violence, and in some cases these problems are severe.
School crime and violence put teachers and children in danger, which undermines
their ability to teach and learn. Bernard S. Arons, M.D. 1 U.S. House of Representatives, October 19, 1998 |
