Impact of Violence on Kids

Over the years I've commented on various issues in this blog; teacher evaluations, the need to provide supplies to those in need, school funding, teacher associations/unions, and so very much more. The focus has largely been about helping students and problems they face.

Given the violence that has continued to plague, in particular, the inner city, I am left wondering the extent to which the children and families who are the survivors of these shootings are affected. I can't for the life of me imagine that they aren't impacted to a large extent.

Hearing gunfire (almost daily) and/or learning that friends/family/neighbors have been shot has to be difficult to cope with. Surely, the children go to school and these issues don't stop at the front door. It's not the way it ought to be.
