[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I worked as a para educator for ten years in two different high schools. Believe me when I say that there are fights everyday. [u]The vast majority are black on black.[/u][/b][/quote]

Thank you for saying this. I can speak for at least several high performing Asian-American students that I know at CHS and they do not feel that the school is a dangerous place for them or that the quality of education they are getting in CHS is low. They are not being targeted and they do not see violence at the school.  Most students have very full schedules with academics, sports, extracurricular activities and college prep that they do not have time for anything else. Yes, there are a few students who create problems, but they fight amongst themselves. They are not walking up to random students that they don't usually associate with and mugging them.  Usually, the animosity between students is carried into the school by events that are happening outside the school and these students know each other beforehand. They also try and not tell the authorities what is going down, so what is usually witnessed is weeks of simmering resentments that ends in fights at school.  Is it disruptive to the school to have such students? Yes. They should be removed from the school or suspended etc.  Does that make the school a dangerous place for other students? I don't think so.

Dangerous situation is still a student or outsider coming in with a gun. There needs to be metal detectors in every school. [/quote]
