Is there any solution to the school shooting incidents?

Question

Another shooting at a school in Cleveland, Ohio, where two male teachers have been shot and are in the hospital. How can we stop this? Does this happen in other countries as well?

Answer 1

I have noticed a pattern to some of these kids who do these shootings.
A lot of them were expelled.

I think expelling a already disturbed and angry student does not solve the problem, if anything it escalates more isolation and anger.

When someone is coming to school sayin f'the world, everything sucks and is generally disgruntled and shares it with other students, I think school faculty and students need to take caution before they expell a student.
Also find out what is going on w/the parents and their relationship w/the kid.
If they do expell a student a very in depth pyschological exit interview w/the student and parents might help w/other options already in place instead of just staying home.

The obvious one: How in the hell does a 14 year old get a hold of a fire arm?!!!!

Gun control, gun control! Has been talked about for years, but I don't see much change in the lobbying and the laws for or against it.
We all know Michael Moore addressed this w/some passion, but it seems to be happening more and more.

I hear about a school going in lockdown here in the Northern CA area at least once a week. I'm in my 30's and this crap NEVER happened when I was in junior high or high school. Mabye knives, but no guns.

I'm not sure if this happens in other countries, but I know they have much strickter gun control laws.

Answer 2

I asked this yesterday in the aftermath of the Wisc shooters.

Some have replied that bullying plays a big role and I can see that; gun access alone cannot be to blame (guns have actually been *more* readily available in the past -- Oswald bought his rifle through the mail and had it sent to a PO box). Consider this: Are public schools to blame?

Emotions need to be exercised or they will atrophy. You can’t help but think a few generations of so much public school “self-esteem” emphasis haven’t prepared our kids very well for the real world. Rather than focus on accomplishments we’ve evolved into a society that says “you’re great as you are (without having accomplished anything)” and “you’re worthy of respect (without having earned it).” So what happens the first time someone is rebuffed or called “worthless” or a “loser?” Do they say “sticks and stones?” No, because they’re unequipped to cope. They don’t know quite how to respond. Some implode, sinking into an emotional funk. Some, like Tyler Peterson in Wisconsin -- or Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in Colorado, or any number of products of a “feel good” society -- react destructively.

Answer 3

One country seems to have solved the problem. They haven't had a school shooting. Of course, in that country, all the teachers are armed to protect against the school being attacked by various terrorist groups. It's the State of Israel.

Answer 4

Guns are completely out of control in this country. And the violence on tv and in video games and movies doesn't help, either.

And both parents having to work so that there is little to no parental supervision anymore doesn't help, either. Some adult somewhere is supposed to be mentoring the kids.

Answer 5

Yes--a solution exists. Unfortunately, the $$$ to have ALL U.S. schools adequately secured by private security services is currently poured into the Iraq war.

And in this day and age, ALL U.S. schools sadly require heavy security and/or police presence to insure our children come home alive.

It's a mad world we live in--because scores of us in society want it that way.

Answer 6

I was just reading that it does happen in other countries, but when it does they make stricter laws about firearms. they don't have the NRA lobbying Congress.
