“There Have Been a
Lot of Shootings This Year. Children Seem to Have Noticed”
“A new survey by the children's magazine Highlights digs
into the hopes, dreams, and psychology of America's children, and suggests that
they're picking up on stories of violence nationwide”.
“Here

country, what would it be?"”
“Given
this wide range of latitude, children called for laws to eliminate homework and
strengthen universal education, among many others. But when kids'
thoughts turned to safety, something jumped out to report analysts:
Children don't focus on bullying--they focus on violence. Six percent of
children thought their should be weapons laws, but only two percent mentioned
bullying”.
