I know what you mean, fortunately it's not as prevalent as the media makes it seem. There are over 92k elementary school and kids are totally safe at almost all.
My oldest child just started elementary school, and he's a bit nervous!  I don't know what he should expect! How nice. Speaking of Primary education, did you know that it is focused on basic learning and introduces kids to a big range of skills and knowledge ? Well I hope they have high standards when they hire the teachers - I want the best for my son! Yeah, there he will be able to learn fundamental for various subjects, as well as grammar and math Awesome!  But I am concerned about the security - it's not something that was a worry when I went to school, but times have changed, unfortunately.
