SEATTLE — When a student dies, it's impossible not to wonder if there's something that could have been done to save them. That's true for every adult who shares the responsibility of keeping students safe. And it's no different for people who have made a career out of teaching children the interpersonal skills they need to keep disagreements from becoming tragedies.
"Every time this happens, I feel like I haven't done enough or we are too slow," said Roger Kluck, the director of the Alternative to Violence Project. Kluck's program provides a workshop where students do activities and play games to help build self-confidence, bond with each other and brainstorm how to solve problems and understand the underlying causes of violence.
