Case 3: School Surveillance | 02-05-2006 | Vera Ruta Silva de Jesus Marques | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In recent years, violent episodes in schools in Arkansas, Colorado, California, Kentucky, Mississippi and other states have led educators and legislators to make "Safe Schools" a priority. Like many issues in education, suggestions on how to make a school "safe" have proceeded simultaneously on many different tracks. Teaching students strategies they can use to combat emotionally explosive situations through initiatives such as character education and peer mediation is one track that is currently used to help make schools safer. Another method that many schools are pursuing is stationing a full-time security officer (or officers) in the building. Some other controversial methods may involve several types of surveillance of students such as security cameras, metal detectors or web monitoring. There are also schools that even monitor their students’ food habits in order to have parents informed about what their children eat at school.
