Survey: Younger children afraid at school

The Crittenden Press started a series of articles this week examining results of a student survey that questioned sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th graders last year at Crittenden County and other schools. The study found that sixth graders are afraid of physical threats and someone taking their belongings at school. However, that fear subsides as students grow older, the study indicates.

See next week's Press for a look at what the survey found about alcohol use among students.
