Parties back reform bill lEFOiM from page 1 "That the people accused us of corruption, and in our failure to pass a real reform bill, we con firmed their worst fear” McCain, who made cam paign finance legislation the cen terpiece of his run for the White House last year, echoed John F. Kennedy's inaugural address in his own remarks. "Most Americans believe that we would let this nation pay any price, bear any burden for the sake of securing our own ambi tions, no matter how injurious the effect might be to the national interest,” he said. McConnell and Hagel out lined the case against the restric tions in the legislation, stressing constitutional questions. "Democracy is messy. Our system is imperfect But our gov ernment works because of the rights of all people to participate in this democracy,” said HageL After years of occasionally fierce battles, all sides were at pains to say they hoped for a respectful debate. "We must guard against impugning each other's motives here,” said HageL "No senator has the high moral ground over any other.” I Bill aims to curb violence in schools VHHiMg from page 1 Nelson said Omaha schools encourage students to tdl facul ty or staff members if another student said anything that would raise the red flags of dan ger, which was what happened at Burke High School. Before violent acts were somewhat commonplace on 24 hour news networks, students would refuse to tattle on other students who made violent threats, Nelson said, but with more frequent violence, stu dents are (hanging heir ways v “Kids are afraid of something like this happening, and they are being more cooperative about letting faculty know,” Nelson said. At Lincoln East High School on Wednesday - the same day as the Burke incident - a student received a five-day suspension for writing a story about bomb ing the school and injuring staff and students, The Associated Press reported. Later, an investigation found the girl’s story was not a safety threat The student was still sus pended. Reece Peterson, UNL associ ate professor of special educa tion and communication disor ders, worked with the Lincoln Police Department and the Lincoln Public Schools five years ago in putting together a variety of safety programs in area schools. Now Peterson puts on work shops with the Lincoln police and city schools to train teachers and administrators about how to deal with school violence. “Schools develop their own safety and security plan because the circumstances are different in each school,” Peterson said. Nebraska is a local control state, which leaves decision making about each school up to individual school districts, according to the State Mirtment of Education. Peterson identified a num of methods schools use to vent violence. Some of methods schools can adopt include prevention programs that teach student conflict resolution skills and a “Character Counts” program that identifies six important traits people should have. Other ways Nebraska schools deal with violence include early intervention pro grams that identify and help stu dents who have difficulty deal ing with problems through men toring programs and academic tutoring. For students with serious behavior problems, schools can use alternative behavior pro grams and individual behavior management These methods may help children who are verbally or physically aggressive, who defy authority or children who are depressed or isolated, Peterson said. For a school in Nebraska to be accredited, it has to follow a school safety plan. Lincoln Public Schools has also adopted an anti-bullying program, which teaches chil dren to be alert of bullies and works with children who do the bullying. “I’m an advocate for schools having some of these programs, but they shouldn't have to follow all of them,” Peterson said. Peterson said the zero- toler ance policy, a traditional way schools have dealt with violence, was sometimes taken to extremes and wasn’t the best answer. He said a reformed sense of discipline should be taken up by Nebraska schools instead. “Discipline needs to go for ward and be more effective at changing students,” he said. "It doesn’t make sense to punish children when they didn't intend any harm.” f For example, Peterson said, suspending or expelling a stu dent for carrying a fingernail clipper with a knife on it doesn't help prevent student violence.
