I was listening to the radio yesterday and a professor of law enforcement was being interviewed and he made it sound like school resource officers were on campus not to protect the children, but to police them, or enforce punishments handed down by the administration. What are your thoughts on that? Do you feel that's true, and if so, what does that say to you about how educators are prepared for engaging with children today?
