No shootings at parochial schools. Why? What are they doing right?

[kyzr]

I was curious if any school shootings happened at Catholic schools, so far there were none. There were about 200 public school shootings since 2000.
This is significant since about 25% of US students attend Catholic/private schools. Should public schools learn from what Catholic schools are doing right? Maybe buying bullet-proof backpacks isn't the answer?

Catholic schools, spared from mass school shootings, remain vigilant

Lets take a poll...

Tighter security.

Strict standards of who can attend.

A little apples and oranges there, you ask about Catholic schools, but cite numbers for Catholic/private schools.


Not saying you are not on to something, but that is a little muddled there.


Were there no shooting in any PRIVATE schools, at all? What percentage of schools are catholic?

Not sure what you mean "strict standards of who can attend"? If you pay the tuition you're in, Jews, Protestants, anyone.

Not sure where you're from, but it doesnt work like that around here. Private schools mostly have entry exams.

The link I found said that "the vast majority" of private schools are Catholic. You can google it if you want more precise numbers.
But due to tuition, attendance is dropping off recently, so look at numbers 10-20 years ago.

i looked at a catholic school for my child. The dealbreaker was mandatory volunteerism. That would be a hard bar for any single parents. (Could not split the required hours between two spouses)

They have strict standards of who can attend, it is not just about money. Grades. Discipline issue. Learning disabilities. All can be denied attendance to their schools.

Given that hundreds of thousands of boys were raped by priests, you would think there would be lots of those grown boys coming back and shooting the schools and parishes up.

If one good sized category of schools, are totally missing a certain problem, it makes sense to ask why.

And yet, not. So, something about your expectation is wrong.


This is starting to look like a very good question.

And perhaps, "all" contribute to dodging the types of problem kids that turn into shooters?

Not really, that's correlative inference with no justification...since school shootings are not happening in a bubble all done by some same hive mind. They're done by individuals, and the reasons vary but typically land on a brain malfunction.

Where I live, unspecified staff are armed. They got signs that say so too.

They have something new that wasn't around when my kids were growing. I never heard of STEM schools, Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics.
I could see STEM schools having entrance exams, since the curriculum is so challenging.

Of course they do. Public schools are not allowed to do those things.

Thus the asking of the question, is there a cause? And if so, what is it?


Seems unlikely that with 200 instances, that it would just be random chance.

Public school teachers sexually assaulted more children than priests have and you are forced to send your kids to those schools...
