Are Schools a Safe Place?

Since 2010, there have been 45 separate terrorist acts in schools across the United States. In the past four years, the number of violent attacks at school has exceeded the total number of incidents that occurred between 2000 and 2010. The most disastrous thing about this statistic is that this decade has not ended (Johnston 2013). School violence is increasing, unfortunately the school is no longer considered a safe place. In general schools are considered to be safe places because they are mainly the places where they should learn; people have to relax their guardians to learn new things.

It will occur in a wider community affecting the school community. School children: safe place? , Rossetti (2001) is a safe haven for children at school? A review of violence based on school-related gender (2008), 67% of girls in Botswana reported sexual harassment of teachers (...) 20% of girls reported that sex was being sought Half of the relationships are due to fear of retaliation against performance and performance records. If sexual harassment (nuisance stroking, hitting, pinching, sexual cues, date pressure, etc.) against teacher's students is very high, this misuse is a conclusion that it is a matter of course, that is, it is part of school culture . The Botswana Junior High School Teachers Association (BOFESETE) (2003) is opposed to this statement.

One student reported that they received sexual harassment at their school. "There were a lot of sexual harassment at our school, a boy born of a new boy and a jungle (a founder of a new colleague) had requested a sexual relationship with a girl, a ninth grade girl would normally be a target It is said. "I have witnessed how I experienced sexual harassment at school. Table 1 shows that 8 (40%) of A and 6 (30%) of D reported reported sexual harassment at their school. These findings are consistent with literature on girls who are victims of sexual harassment (Matsoga, 2003). Other forms of violence reported by school learners include discrimination, drug trafficking, smoking, chatting, curse, or the use of vulgar words. Some learners report that these forms of violence lead to physical conflict between school learners. Learners were arrested and eventually dismissed. "
