When I moved to Nashville, little crime flooded the papers. 15 years later, more and more youth are headlining our newspapers and tv news persuant to crime. I would like serious responses to 1) what you feel about the increase of crime in "your" city, 2)how the youth are involved and 3) what "you", your community and/or leaders are trying to do to change the situation? School is going to be in session in another week. I am preparing myself not only to 'teach' the academics that are required, but I HAVE to find ways to get to the heart of our kids -to understand what makes them do what they do? To try and involve parents more in their own children's lives: academics, etc. When it comes to sports -I see ALL the parents - but I cannot get these same people to come and meet with me when their children are acting out, not going their work, and making life "hard on the yard" for everybody else (bullying). Rather than complain, I am willing to do what I can to change things
