The recent stabbing incident involving two teenagers at Dacula High School prompted the usual results: parents declaring their outrage, and news commentators hinting that if the schools only had metal detectors in place, this never would have happened.

Although this incident didn't claim any lives and pales in comparison to the tragic school shootings that seem to be on the news more often than we'd like to see, it does revisit the issue of school violence and why it seems to be so prevalent.
