Canadian School Has School Safety Issues

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Brentwood Elementary, a school in Elk Island Schools, showed that school violence is not just an American problem.

A fourth grade student assaulted a teacher's aide.  That same student was allegedly in possession of a "hit list".  The school district met with parents, but were unable to share information wanted by the parents, due to privacy concerns.

Analysis
In Staying Alive, we make the point that school attacks are not limited to American schools.  They occur all over the world.  In fact, most people reading the above story without looking at the title would most likely assume they are reading about a U.S. school.
