5.0 out of 5 stars Critically Important Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022
This is a must read book for anyone concerned about education. Mr Schargel views our schools as part of the larger system of society rather than as separate entities detached from the larger reality. His solutions to preventing school violence are based on understanding this critically important fact. There are things schools can do, and he discusses them in detail. But the real solutions can only be found when we are willing to look at how all of society functions and make the changes necessary to give children a healthier overall environment in which to live.
5.0 out of 5 stars THE Most Helpful Guide to Preventing School Violence
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
This Guide to Preventing School Violence can make a tremendous difference in the lives of children, not something this reviewer can say about every education book. Schargel’s newest book is a must-read for teachers, administrators, policy makers, and everyone who cares about children. The author’s practical advice builds upon best practices that some educators and policy makers may already know, but the facts, information, and tips will be new to most people. This is one of THE best books in my library!

This is a valuable resource for those seeking information on violence in our schools.
Rather than call for new rules or regulations, this important resource identifies ways to take action and therefore lessen the potential for violence. I highly recommend this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Confronting the Inconceivable
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2022
School administers and teachers are consumed with improving outcomes: how do we improve students’ writing and math skills? Ability to analyze and create? Recruit and retain the “best and the brightest” teachers? Upgrade curriculum? We avoid even thinking about school violence. It is too frightening and depressing, and, after all, it can never happen in “my” school. Franklin Schargel’s Preventing School Violence: a User’s Guide tells us “it” can happen in any school and we must plan, just as we plan for curriculum development and hiring teachers. The book is highly personal, based upon long experience in schools as well as a thoughtful plea, just as we carefully plan for lessons we must treat school safety with as much care and dedication.
Take a few hours, read Preventing School Violence and ask: is our school prepared for the inconceivable? Are we planning to avert life changing catastrophes? And, if not, why not?

This is an inclusive and comprehensive look at the prolific and insurmountable challenges facing our families and schools. You know the saying: “Parenting doesn’t come with a manual” -imagine if someone sought to chip away at the insurmountable – Enter the User’s Guide to Preventing School Violence. I found this book supportive, informative, and empowering. I hope schools and families pick this up and run with it, together!

Did I leave anyone out? Most school violence incidents are preventable. Virtually every school mass shooting was preventable. All these horrible incidents. All the stress among our students. All the stress among school personnel. And parents.
How much is preventable? And if so, then let’s prevent it.
I challenge everyone that sees this post to buy a copy of Franklin’s book, and then share this post with everyone you know that either works in the education space or has children who attend school.

Franklin has done it once again!
Preventing School Violence: A User’s Guide offers an excellent alternative for Professional Development in school settings that will inform educators about the issues preventing student from achieving academics succuss while providing realistic strategies to inform and bring about change. This book provides the kind of information that can be used for collaboration among schools, parents, students, and other stakeholders who can come together to finally discuss issues that are prevalent among today’s youth. Understanding that what goes on in students’ world outside the school building often follows them into the educational setting. Franklin explains the potential problems with suggestions for interventions. Teachers struggle daily searching for strategies that will enable them to reach and teach students. This book is a must read for those teachers. And for parents who feel at a loss as to how they can be proactive and not reactive when faced with issues their children experience, this guide is a promising resource. As a school social worker in a public school, former Dropout Interventionalist, Administrator and Classroom Teacher in public and private school, I found myself cheering the actionable, preventive measures outlined in in this Guide.
Thank you, Franklin, for reminding your readers that schools are the safest places for students to be.
