I always take a pause reading survey responses about adults kids trust/can go to, so many mark school resource officer as someone they trust. I feel conflicted about this, others? #sigh #urbaned #education 🫤

@SoRoPhD Especially in Chicago where, until last month, officers could add names to the gang member database at any time for any reason. This points to the structural problem that we don’t provide enough staff in diverse roles & from students’ communities.
@SoRoPhD totally. But then I remember the school safety officer at the elementary where I did a year of field work - she sat in the entry, knew all kids and families by name, helped out with small problems, watched out for people having a bad day...
