The incrementalism approach is often the best way to reduce
the destructiveness of confrontations over intractable issues.
This approach begins by identifying any conflict problems that
increase the conflict's overall destructiveness or threaten the
parties' ability to make a wise decision or advance their
interests. Although many incrementalism treatments require the
corporative effort of contending parties, others can be
implemented unilaterally. Similarly, while some treatments are
relatively easy to implement, others require that the parties
develop new dispute-handling skills or secure the assistance of
outside professionals. Unlike other forms of dispute resolution,
the incrementalism approach can work in situations where
resolution-based approaches are unusable.
The incrementalism approach also recognizes our limited ability
to understand and solve complex problems. It also recognizes
that certain kinds of long-term change are best sustained
through gradual adjustment rather than a complete overhaul.
Small incremental moves are often more effective than trying to
resolve the whole conflict all at once.

The group theory begins with the proposition that interaction
among groups is the central fact of politics. Individuals with
common interest band together formally or informally to press
their demands on government. According to political scientist
David Truman, an interest group is a shared-attitude group that
makes certain claims upon in the society; such a group becomes
political " if and when it makes a claim through or upon any of
the institutions of government.Schools administrators are
required to continuously exercise their discretion on a variety of
matters that affect schools, teachers, children, and communities.
In spite of this reality, not much study has been done in this
area. Discretion permits and demands flexibility when
considering individual circumstances (Davis, 1969). I agree

4. with Davis, the ability to choose between options is at the core
of discretion. The inherent problem with using discretion is
that it may result in both positive and negative outcomes.
(Davis, 1969).
Following the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School
in Parkland, Florida on February 15, 2018; growing attention
has been given to the protection of students and faculty at all
schools.in my opinion, the greatest and most frequent injustices
occur at the discretion end of the scale, where the rules and
principles provide little or no guidance. The emotions of
deciding officers may affect their decision. Politic and
favoritism may influence decisions; the imperfections of human
nature are often reflected in the choices people made.
Parents are often discouraged when they attempt to
communicate with central office administrators and school
board members and are sent back to building-based officials in
order to resolve a problem their child may be experiencing in
school. To prevent that frustration, parents can become
informed about the “chain of command,” or where to begin the
communication sequence regarding their problem or concern.
Many parent and community questions are easily and
completely answered by communication directly with the
educator in charge of the class or program. Each situation
should be first addressed at whatever level the initial action was
taken with appeals moving on to the next level on the chain of
command. The easiest way to communicate is via e-mail, and a
phone call is the next preferable way. Contact information such
as e-mail addresses and phone numbers can be found on the
district website.

5. School shootings like those in Parkland, Florida and
Connecticut feeds the growing public fear of school violence;
leading to the rapid implementation and expansion of numerous
school safety and security measures; such as, the use of high-
tech security devices like metal detectors, surveillance cameras,
student-driven peer mentoring programs, school resource officer
programs, and punitive zero-tolerance policies for a disciplinary
infraction.
In some states, like Washington and Delaware, there are school
safety protocols that are rarely used if at all. In other states,
they have become a standard classroom-management tool. Last
year, South Carolina school disturbances was the second-most-
common accusation leveled against juveniles in South Carolina,
after misdemeanor assault. An average of seven kids were
charged daily during school sessions.
School safety officers in the United States (also known as
school police officers or school liaison officers) typically are
employed by a local law enforcement agency and assigned to
work in a school or schools. They perform traditional law
enforcement functions like patrolling school buildings and
grounds, investigating criminal complaints, handling students
who violate school rules or laws and trying to minimize
disruptions during the school day and at after-school activities.
In conclusion, further research is needed to evaluate the uses
handcuffs in elementary and middle school. However, there are
some valid and practical reasons to suggest the need for school
security officer and metal detectors in elementary, middle
school and high school.
