Smooth, are you saying that problems in the school system are completely unrelated to school violence? I for one see a dropout rate as a clear indication of how well as school system performs. If a school has a high dropout rate, then it is a failure to its students. Would it not be a stretch to say that failing schools with high dropout rates have higher incidences of student on student and student on staff violence?
I don't know what you think, that's why I asked questions about what you said. Furthermore I did not compare to all violent crime in Germany, but to violence in German schools.
Also, I referenced
violent crime because that's what you said, if you mean homicides, say homicides.

In fact, it's one of the single most glaring issues we face in explaining.
