20. School Security: Why It’s So Hard to Keep Kids Safe




           In opening this article, writer Bonnie Rochman immediately appeals to parents who worry about their children’s security in school.  She states that she also worries about her son and daughter who are in, sadly, rather unsafe learning environments.  After stories of shootings and violence throughout schools with young attendees, this article is sure to perk acknowledgement as well as interest.   Using this, Rochman is quick to state her main idea, we need to work together to make schools safer.  Her idea of community is soothing for people in fear of their children’s safety; it makes them feel stronger and not alone in a bad situation.

           Sadly, the only ideas of protection either put the students in a imprisoned environment, which would undoubtedly make everyone hate school even more, or put them in a military inspired learning facility where they would need to learn how to protect themselves.  In a time where humans want to encourage anyone to visit a school for  the love of learning, will we risk the safety of innocent children?
