BY NICOLAS GREEN, TRYA VILLAGOMEZ, and ERICK AGUIRRE The question that everybody is asking is, are the students safe and are school staff prepared? In the last few years there have been school shootings around the United States and a majority of the time the school staff is not prepared. School safety is the main topic of today and how people like Salvador Martin are Hiring school staff and campus supervisors to help protect students. School safety is really important because if a shooter does come on campus everyone is prepared for this situation and no one gets hurt. School safety really matters and most kids think they’re just dumb rules but they’re not just dumb rules, they are just there to keep us safe and that matters a lot. What if something happened to you? How would you feel having your life put at risk? Wouldn’t it be scary? But, the rules the teachers and the campus supervisors make are there to keep us safe in situations like that.
All Students Need Safety
Period 2
BY MARILISA BERMUDEZ, MELANIE FLORES, ASHLEY ESCORTRIOS, and JENNIFER HERNANDEZ We can stay safe in school by being prepared. School Safety tells us what we have to do in order to be safe in school. How can we stay safe in school? We learned how to be safe in school while listening to Dr. Salvador Martin’s interview on Gun Control and School Safety. Dr. Salvador Martin said, ”I had experiences where they tried to prepare adults and students in case of a shooting to make sure we are safe in school.” This quote connects to the main idea because he talks about what he did to keep the school safe. Overall, we learned that some schools have security guards to keep us safe like Lennox Middle School, which is surrounded by security guards to look out for students and adults. Other schools need security guards because other schools also need protection from the worst moments at school. Having security guards makes me feel safer because I know that someone is looking out for me and other students and I think other schools would like to feel the same way.
