These kids have grown up together, and they see that all races get along well together. We don't see any black on white, white on black, Hispanic on black. Most of ours is them fighting each other -- black on black, white on white, Hispanic on Hispanic -- more than we have any other. We don't have a lot of racial issues here.
More Quotes from Larry Frazier:
As far as violence goes, school is school. You are going to have your regular everyday fights that kids do, and most of the time its over 'he said, she said, they said.' But we really haven't seen a real increase in violence. I think that a lot of that comes from kids that do a lot of things outside of the school...schools are no more unsafe than they were 10 years ago.Larry Frazier
Well, we have never had a homicide here at school, thank goodness. We have had some of our kids go off campus and gotten killed. We had one of out student that was shot in a drive-by on U.S. 75, but really, we don't see that type of crime.

I get back two times from what I give to the kids. You do start relationships with the young people that are lifelong.

I think that I have the best situation of any liaison officer because I have all type of children, not more than one. I'm at about 53 to 47 percent in majorityminority. What I find is that our kids fight with each other, but nobody else fights with them. It's like, 'I can slap my brother, but you can't' it's that type of situation.

You'd be surprise what they tell us. I just got a deal the other day where I got a crime stopper tip where I ended up getting almost an ounce of pot, That's almost 200 worth of hydro off a kid, because of a kid coming in and telling me. It's a good program, and I enjoy it.

They are pulling the same pranks they are all trying live faster than they should. Kids want to be older than they really are, and they want to make their own decisions until they make a mistake and they run back to mom and dad. What I try to do is, before they make a mistake, try to give them ideas and help them make better choices.
