Answer to Question 1

Anytime a student is subjected to violence it is a tragedy. The trend of school violence, however, is on the decrease, not the increase. The reason for the greater concern is because of media hype and headlines that sell newspapers.

Answer to Question 2

It has increased sharply. High school teachers now give more As than Cs. Almost 50 percent of college freshmen have an A average.
