The PUP College of Education Student Council stands with the call of the UP College of Education Student Council and fellow education student organizations to put student welfare at the center of the conversation on school violence.
What happened should never have happened. We mourn the lives lost, and we extend our deepest sympathy to the students, families, teachers, and school workers who are carrying the weight of this tragedy.
When tragedy strikes, it is convenient to point fingers, such as blaming teachers for not doing enough, parents for not doing enough, young people for what they consume online, or social media and online games for what happens in the real world. But pointing to the easiest target does not make the problem easier to solve.

As future teachers, we cannot remain silent when educators are blamed for problems they were never given enough support to address, or when students are discussed without ever being asked what they need.
A school cannot be called safe simply because there are guards at its gates. It is safe when ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป ๐๐ผ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ, ๐ด๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐.
We cannot bring back the lives lost. But we can refuse to let their deaths become another excuse for shallow solutions.
Because if we want safer schools, then the answer cannot simply be more blame.
