[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Knowing there have been problems, should there be increased routine police presence?  No the principal is not technically responsable but he can still get involved through letters home and announcements to the kids.[/quote]

There's talk about increased police presence, but it's not clear it would really help because it's so sporadic.  I would think that kids that beat the crap out of other kids right next to the school should be suspended, no?  That would be one way to be proactive.[/quote]

How would suspending kids who beat up other kids outside of school stop them from beating up other kids outside of school?[/quote]

Because they wouldn't be at the school.  Maybe they'd be beating kids up somewhere else?[/quote]

I assume that they're beating up kids they know from school, not roaming the streets beating up any random kid who happens to pass by.[/quote]

I think that's right.  Where the problems begin is when someone from the neighborhood decides, hey, I think they're about to beat that kid to death so maybe I'll try to prevent that, because you know, it's not great to watch a little kid being severely beaten across the street from me.  That's when the issues creep into the neighborhood, because now you've just drawn attention to yourself.  [/quote]
