Will the owner(s) of school violence please step forward? We do not want to repeat ourselves so please step forward. As you would imagine no one has stepped forward to own this problem. And, rightly so—the begging question is whose problem is school violence? The answer is all of ours. Are you surprised? So, now that we are aware that the problem of school violence belongs to all of us (parents, teachers, students, janitors, administrators, entrepreneurs, politicians, preachers, media workers, law enforcement officers, social services personnel, medical personnel, entertainers and bystanders) now we can all saddle up our horses and deal with it. We all own this problem and together we must all work to solve it.
Kids have a world to explore in school; a lot of activities go on beyond the classroom and playground. But it's a sad reality that these spaces—classrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds, and school buses—are not always as safe as they should be. While we teach our kids about fire drills and stranger danger, often the threat of school violence comes from within the community, not just faceless outsiders.
Because a safe ride to school sets the tone for a safe day.
Where fun meets safety, because playtime shouldn't be risky.
Mealtime is for making friends, not fearing threats.
Secure classrooms lead to successful futures.
Despite ramped-up security, incidents continue to shake our schools and impact families deeply. That's why it's crucial to equip our young ones with practical knowledge and survival tips from an early age. Our book serves as a lifesaving guide that aims to fill the safety gaps in a child's school life. Through simple, digestible advice, we hope to empower both parents and teachers to make a lasting impact—one that might just save a life.
Kids have limitless imaginative capabilities with which they can speak for themselves. As parents we should always encourage them to get indulged in art
with free mind. The creativity that comes out of them is pure.
