1. Violence in schools is one of the current challenges society must face. Some say arm teachers; others say have more law enforcement on campus.

Use support in the form of general analysis and from “What Should America Do about Gun Violence”, “Children Killing Children- Just Another Normal Day”, and/ or “Mental Health Services a Defense against School Violence”
