Other experts have challenged these figures and/or the methods used for collecting data. What is observable from open news sources is that the month of December 2004 has been brutal for schools.
Thank goodness that schools were only in session about half of the month! When these events are added to the threats, plots and plans of violence that never came to fruition, it is easy to see why parents and students do not share in the optimism of this new report. To read about these and other incidents of violence this school year, go to: https://keystosaferschools.com/violence04.htm There is no comfort
in knowing that you are not alone when the issue is school violence. ----------------------------------

Bullying Stops When Respect Begins.

Parents can help their children say "no" to drugs in
a variety of ways and by starting when their children are young. We will deal
with creating a Family Drug Policy and Contract.
Create a Family Drug
Policy & Contract to establish rules for drug, alcohol and tobacco use. Be
sure to include the punishment your child will face if he or she breaks the
contract and the rewards for following them. These contracts are best used for
children ages 12 and up. Establishing a contract will provide your children
with a clear family position on drug use.
The primary purpose of a
Include your teens and preteens in
the coming up with rules, consequences and rewards they feel are
appropriate for the Contract. Child who feel that they
are being heard by their parents and are allowed to participate in
this process are far more likely to be compliant than those who
are handed a set of rules and told "Do it or else.". Make weekly drug screening your child a major part
of the contract, if they are currently using. Random drug
screens for signs of warnings of possible drug usage. Attention Parents

---------------------------------- 10. Tip of the Month for Teachers: Don't wait to be told, catch the bully yourself.
Be where the bullying takes
place. Ask for help from parents and
other volunteers to supervise playgrounds, buses and other bully
hotspots. When you see bullying take
place, talk to the bully without involving he victim. If you must interview both,
always talk to the bully before talking to the victim. Keep records and pass your
observations to other teachers, parents and administration. Develop functional anti-bullying
policy. For help in putting together a bullying program for
your school, contact Keys today.

Eight
out of ten articles on school violence this month feature a newly released
report, jointly authored by the US Departments of Education and Justice,
that is heralding a 50% decline in school violence since 1992. 
Story
1: Kayla
heard Josh talk about setting fire to the school. She thought it was dumb.
But then she saw him playing with gasoline and matches. He said that he was
practicing. She told him to stop kidding around. He told Kayla to mind her
own business that he had a score to settle. Josh warned her that friends do
not rat on friends, so she better be quiet. She went home and stayed in her
room without talking to anyone. The next morning her mother told her about
the school catching on fire and that two janitors working late were burned
to death.
For 12
years as a student in public school she was teased, ridiculed and isolated
by her fellow students. The teachers knew about it; the administration knew
about it; other students knew about. Still it continued. In her final year
at this institution of torture, she began to fantasize about getting even
with all her tormentors. Her thoughts became words and the words became
written plans. Fantasy was becoming fact. Her plans were discovered. She was
arrested and will never graduate. She did nothing but plan; "they"
made fun of her. She only planned a few weeks; "they" bullied her
for 12 years. She will spend next spring in jail; "they" will walk
across a stage at graduation. Who is the victim; who is punished?
