School safety has been a concern in the Detroit area for the past few weeks. Why do you feel this issue has become important in the past week? What has the Academy of Inkster done to make the school a safer place for students? Do you agree or disagree with the academy's move? Be sure to clearly state why.
Disclaimer: Although students at the Academy of Inkster may feel differently about this subject than the staff does, we (students) will honor the staff's wishes and follow the rules for the good of the school and those who attend it.

Because violence in the state is getting worse, and more chaotic. Ths school has not permitted the students to carry bookbags. I somewhat disagree with this course of action, I feel that they should just check students bookbags, because we have alot of books to carry around. And I feel I shouldn't have bought a bookbag if I can barely use it.
I feel this has became a big issue because a lot of people been getting killed. AOI hasnt really changed. Only thing that has changedis girls cant bring there big perses to class. I disagree with there move because what do girls perses have to do with shooting in detroit.
I dont agree with the new rules of the school because of the recent shootings in Detroit. In all honestly, no matter what they take away from us and say what we cant bring or use~ there is still no stopping students from bringing weapons to the school and harming others. For example, the new purse rule, has there honestly been any girls who tried to commit a shooting? NO! So why are they putting this down on us? What they should be regulating is the boys and what they are bringing to school more! And besides~ if someone wanted to really hurt someone at our little school thats hardly even noticed~ theyd just bring the gun in their pocket~ and one thing the guys have is HUGE pockets on their uniform. And most shootings is made by GUYS! This is basically common sense, they shouldn't put whats happening somewhere else by GUYS and put this issue on the GIRLS! It's very ridiculous...
I feel that the school should have more security, and safety for students. To many teens have been in trouble dealing with gun fire and the death of those teens. it may cost more money but i say if that what it takes to make are schools safe then i say we spend more money for children to have a healthy school environment.
The reason that school saftey has been such a big issue this past week was because of the shooting at Henry Ford High Sshool. For that reason the academy of Inkster has made the decision to make the girls wear smaller purses. I don't really think that it was the best decision to make. First the females are not the only ones who carry around weapons. Seccondly even with small purses you are capable of carring around weapons anywhere on your body.
I think that the Academy is concerning itself with more safety because of the recent events at Henry Ford High School. And that resulted in a gang related shooting at the school, because they combined two rival schools together. And that gang related shooting also ended in a boy losing his life, and several others being injuried. At the Academy of Inkster they are tring to inforce a new policy that girls can't bring oversized purses to class because one girl brought a bucher knife to school.
Is AOI Safer?
I beleive that this has been a rising issue because so many students and parents a fed up with the school systems and some tend to lash out more than others and now different schools are merging together and creating more problems i the process. Unfortunately what we have done to make our school safer is that "we" no longer allow big purses to be carried around anymore... I agree and diagree with the schools decision. I agree because we are just trying to make sure that eryone is safer and that no one brings any concealed weapon from within their bags and purses. I disagree with the decision because us females have products that we need and how are we suppose to fit them in our itty-bitty purses? Think about that and let it simmer for a bit...
I feel that this has become such a major issue in the past week due to the previous shootings at other schools. The academy of Inkster has decided to band large purses and book bags. I agree totally with the new rules because it lessens the possibility that someone can bring in weapons that might harm people and I could possibly be one of those innocent bystanders!
Shanaye first response is Destiny's & that was a mistake but that is mine.
I believe it has become important because student safety is the schools responsibility, so they need to do what is necessary to protect us. While the Academy of Inkster made the female students place large purses in lockers. I do agree with this decision, you never know what is going on in teens minds, especially with the economic crisis going on in America. I believe schools need to take all necessary precautions, for my safety and other student’s safety, but I believe that there are other ways students could harm one another if it came to that.
I would have to agree with Shanaye. Because I can understand that they want to make us safe but why do they have to go through drastic measures? Also, if they apply the rule they should also be able to apply it to some teachers as well because there are cases of some teachers going a but crazy themselves on students. And as we all know, female teachers also would carry big purses and bags as well as male teachers, so why wouldnt they apply it to them also? I don't think they should just only stress the rules on the students.
I would like to comment on Sarahs blog. I believe the Academy of Inkster made a wise descion, reason being because our safety is impotant, and if they didnt take these precautions our life would be in danger.
I both agree and disagree with Joshs' comment. I do believe that AOI hasn't changed much, but i agree with them trying to admit rules that could save a life that could be mine!
This issue has became very important because of all the shootings that has been going on since last week. Its been very frightening. I think Academy of Inkster choice to only allow little purses was not that great. Weapons can be carried in anything. But even though i disagree with it I obey by it because i know my school is only looking out for what's best for me.
I am commenting on Josh's blog post he seemed to have been using way too much slang in his post. And he misspelled the word purses wrong. And his response seemed to also be a little bit one sided on the issues.
I feel that this issue has become important over the past week because in-school violence has been going on for a very long time inside of Detroit Public Schools and I think that the district is finally fed up. The Academy of Inkster has required students to leave their bookbags inside of their lockers and the girls have to now carry smaller purses. I agree and I disagree wit this move. I agree because it will prevent students from bringing weapons into the building. It will not stop everyone but it will be a start. On the other hand, I disagree because students may have personal things that they need from home that they may have to carry that will not fit in a smaller bag. It is a no win situation.
I am commenting on Kelby's response and I agree with him. It is the school's responsibility that we are protected away from home and they should go through any means necessary to protect us.
I agree with Sarah to an extent. They should not have told s to buy a bookbag if we are not abe to use them. We have to much to carry around for us not to carry around a bookbag that we paid our moey for. At the same time i do not believe that they have the athority or right to check our bookbags or purses. That is for our personal use.
I think safety has become important because there have been several shootings in Detroit in the last week. I feel that AOI is trying to become safe but they should try a little harder. We should get some security because if someone wanted to hurt us they could easily get to us.
I feel that only reason they are having these shootings is because the school system is closing down schools and combining rival schools. So I believe that this horrible incident will wake up the school system.
I agree with Dejuan you having more security means you have a safer environment to learn in.
The violence in school system has become out of control. From the killings in detroit to students bringing knifes in Inkster. The violence is going to become worse than what it is. Academy of INkster had took a step further by bot allowing students to bring bookbags into the classroon, and they have even permited girls from bringing purses that are able to hold a book. Although at first I thought the peurse thing was kind of crzay because of the fashion statements that I like to make, but now I realize that it is all for the safety of the students.

I disagree with Shareka and Sarah because the new rules of the are for the safety of the students. They may not understand why the bookbag rule is being inforced, in the end they will realize that the school was only trying to protect them.
