Description
In America, with access to information and education at its highest ever in history, along with technological and medical advances that marvel the imagination, we still hold the industrialized world's highest rate of incarceration and murder. Ten List for School Safety by author Noah Waters illustrates through research the correlation between the absence of teaching basic laws in our schools and our resulting crime rates. Elementary and middle school students are not instructed in the basic rules of law that guide behavior, but are, nevertheless, held responsible to know proper behavioral conduct in high school. Furthermore, these same students who were not taught legal behaviors in school become fully responsible for improper behavioral conduct as adults. The instruction of the Ten List in our schools from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade will offer precise tools, based upon our laws, to guide human behavior.
