Advocates say students are struggling with mental health as they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Still, despite all the high-profile incidents, it's too early to tell how the 2021-2022 school year will look compared to past years when it comes to school violence.
"There are more stories coming out recently about school violence and aggression occurring in school, but we just don't yet have good data to know if these are anecdotes or if these are trends that we should be concerned about," said Boston University Wheelock College of Education Professor Jennifer Greif Green, who researches school mental health and bullying.
She says acting out is a common response to trauma, which can be tied, in many cases, to the pandemic. "It can be harder to move back into their typical environment," said Green."And the expectation that they're going to return to school, and be sitting in classrooms, and ready to learn, may not match where many of them are right now and what they need in their lives."
