[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. So from what I understand, I am pretty pro-no SROs in schools, because the school to prison pipeline is absolutely a real thing, and I went to school myself and as I recall, the presence or absence of SROs made pretty much no difference to student behavior. Like, a group of kids plotting to mug someone for their shoes doesn't stop and go "I don't know guys, Officer Friendly won't be too happy about this!" Like, they already know they're going to get caught, or would if they were thinking about consequences whatsoever, and don't care. I really doubt the recent incidents are [i]because[/i] of the removal of SROs.

However, kids should absolutely not have to fear being violently assaulted, not to mention be expected to keep going to school with their attackers. I feel sure that people more educated than me on these topics have come to some conclusions about how to handle the problem of educating violent students. Deciding they are lost causes that belong in jail at 16 is wrong, but letting them continue to prey on other kids is not acceptable. SROs aren't bodyguards and can't fix this, but what can?[/quote]
