Growing number of NYC students feel unsafe as gang activity, bullying uptick in schools: survey
 
While Chancellor David Banks painted a rosy picture of the Big Apple’s public schools this week, the results of a citywide student survey show a darker reality — with a growing number of kids saying they are bullied, unhappy and unsafe.

Of 355,105 K-12 pupils polled by the city Department of Education this spring, 51% said harassment, bullying and intimidation by classmates was common. Last year, 48% of students felt that way.

Gang activity occurred some or most of the time in school, 27% of students said, up 2% from last year.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

TFB.  Your parents keep electing the very people who are making you feel unsafe.  Go complain to them.
