Security in Public Schools

In public school, many different types of kids and teens attend that school for a lower cost than a private school. With this comes disputes, arguments and fights. Some kids will go as far as to bring a knife or gun to school, for different reasons. For some its just to scare someone, others its to harm them in some way. This has caused people to employ security guards and security equipment, such as video cameras and metal detectors, into public schools. This is a great idea for high school and junior high, but not elementary. Your older kids are the ones that need to be watched the most. The little ones are ging to be less likely to bring stuff to school. Also that type of environment is not good fro kids to grow up around. It can make them nervous and paranoid, which is not always a good thing. I believe its great for the older kids but not little ones. Its a great start to showing them what real life is like.
