Shooting at the Campbell County Jail, opps I mean School

Dr. Helen (Instapundit's wife) has a letter from a student who went to Campbell County School. The former student says the school was more of a jail, than a school. Dr. Helen has researched the issue of school violence and found that often schools with shootings treat the students more like prisoners than students. She wrote a book, "The Scarred Heart: Understanding and Identifying Kids Who Kill," about troubled children. You can read it online at: http://www.violentkids.com/

In the comments Dr. Helen says:

"Kids today feel little ability to get away from their situation--they are mandated to go to school--and will be jailed or their parents jailed if they do not attend. Many of them feel trapped. Often, these kids do not want to run away from home but from their school. In my research, I have found that hatred and dislike of school plays a large part in a kid becoming violent."

I may need to add her book to my stack.
