I did my project on School Security, Safety, and Violence. I spent a ton of time looking up statistics and solutions to the problems in today's schools associated with this subject. I really found this to be interesting. There is a visible security presence in the school where I am doing fieldwork this semester. While I was doing this project, there happened to be a school stabbing at Ohio State University. I was very surprised to find out that only 11 people were injured during this tragedy.
After I presented, I realized that this is a very touchy subject with everyone. I realize that the solution that I came up with may not be realistic or viable, but it is a drastic solution to a horrific problem.
This project has really opened my eyes. I learned a lot researching and presenting to the class. There needs to be some sort of change taking place in today's society. School shootings and terrorist activity needs to be eradicated permanently.
Frank, your topic was most definitely touchy, as you say; but it doesn't mean it doesn't need to be discussed. I think you did a fine job presenting your ideas about a controversial subject matter and hats off to you for discussing something that you feel strongly about. It is from passion and great ideas that flow from them that good changes come about. Keep up the good work!
