not even reach the relevant authorities. In their recommendation on how to prevent the first growing culture Dorothy et al. prefer a three tiers process which comprises class, student and teacher.

Teacher’s intimidation, physical attacks and property destruction which are on an alarming rise are among ways that violence is perpetrated. It is good the NRA have their view on gun control measures but given the rise in school violence the matter should really be closed very fast. Wayne says that allowing the policies proposed by the government would lead to bureaucracy and unfair background checks. This is good for the innocent people who are licensed to have guns but unsafe for students and teachers given the alarming rise of violence and that the perpetrators may continue resorting to deadly weapons.

The report advocates that teachers should be trained on how to predict this kind of behavior and overcome the challenge. It further recommends that training programs should be put in place to empower teachers to predict and handle such behaviors. A three tier approach which includes teachers, level, class level and student level is recommended in order to handle the problem. This is a good approach; however, parenting is the backbone of individual behaviors. As much as this is merely mentioned in community level poor parenting, kind punishment, and laws lead to school violence.

Raising a child in a non violent, good moral environment at home would go a long way in reducing the school violence. The violence directed towards teachers and the other students is generally not stimulated by the victims but it is pain carried on the inside. This is why, nearly half of the victimized teachers reported they had experienced offences from two or more different types of perpetrators when a child at home can talk back to a parent, or use abusive language to the parent they are likely to disrespect other authorities in their life. This kind of behavior is picked up from television programs, celebrity behavior, music industry and other social media activities. A parent is in the best position to prevent such behavior influencing their children’s.

There has been a parallel growth between school violence and drug use in school. This without a doubt shows that the two are related. Drug abuse is the other major cause of school violence and joining of gangs which means if this is dealt with the danger of school violence both to teachers and students will reduce. As they try to focus on what ignites the violence Dorothy et al introduces us to two major categories micro system and macro system. “The macro system may be considered the outermost layer in an individual’s environment. This layer comprises abstract influences such as cultural values, customs, and laws.” The research hardly dwells in this area which is a high trigger of violence anywhere including schools. The increase in use of weapons to attack teachers and students is enabled partly by law and customs. These are also the factors which should fight drug and other substance abuse.
