'I was lucky because my bully could only torment me while I was at school,' Gary Sigrist writes. 'Maybe my story would not have had a happy ending if it happened today with technology and social medi…
After a horrific tragedy, millions are poured into schools to prevent another shooting. We seem to have this mentality that the only deaths of students that warrant funding are shooting deaths at school. But fortunately, very few students die by gun violence at schools in America each year.There are many who say school shooters are or were the victims of bullying. Others say the school shooters were bullies. The truth is bullying at school is the sign of a toxic culture.
Bad behavior by bullies, both students and teachers, is either tolerated or ignored. There is no social control to guide the correct behavior we want from our staff and students. Because of a weak family structure, students may lack a set of beliefs that guide most of us to know the difference between right and wrong.
Students see the culture and become disengaged from the school. There is no social or emotional attachment to those who attend or work at the school. That school is more likely to have a target act of violence when the person is a member of the school community because the shooter does not feel an attachment or commitment to the school. Weak social bonds lead to school violence.
and many positions are being filled with warm bodies rather than those with a degree in education with an emphasis on child development. What I suggest is we start spending more on culture, climate, and student wellness.pathway to violence to a pathway of hopeGary L. Sigrist, Jr.
