Over the past week at iengage, we have been learning about violence in schools across America. In the wake of recent school shootings, we want to find a solution to give students peace of mind that they are safe in their schools. The recommended ratio of counselors to students is 1 to 250, but the average in America is 1 to 482. In fact, only three states in the country have the recommended ratio of 1 to 250, and in those states, there is significantly less school violence than the rest of America. This suggests that the more counselors there are in a school, the less violence takes place in that school.
