Bernice:I couldn't find anything on that school but I can tell you that it isn't representative of US schools.  But is is likey representative of a culture of violence that finds its way into some US schools.   I suspect that there are problems like this in the UK as well.  It's a cultural problem, not a school problem.  The kids don't come from sweet loving middle class homes and then all of a sudden, when they step into the school building, they become animals.  They were animals first and they brought their culture of hate and violence with them when they went through the school doors.

True innocent and well behaved students are caught in the crossfire.  It's not all students but it does effect them all.  Solutions aren't easy but there are solutions.  To ignore the problem, which some administrations do, is to become a part of the problem.
