Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 12/11/2018, including: At least one political analysts believes The 2020 Presidential election will be the most violent in American history; A middle school is experimenting with “reverse suspensions” to reduce bad behavior in students. Administrators at Huntington East Middle School in West Virginia invite parents to come to class, and spend their entire day sitting next to their misbehaving child; Half of U.S. high school students and teachers said they have little or no trust in the news media to report events accurately and without bias, a series of nationwide surveys found. A national study commissioned by the Knight Foundation surveyed 9,774 high school students and 498 teachers and used several questions from Gallup's Free Expression on Campus survey of college students for comparison. Responses showed widespread distrust in news, with 49 percent of high school students and 51 percent of teachers reporting they have not much or not any trust in media organizations to report the news fairly. Between 2016 and 2018, there was a 5 percent drop in students getting their news from Facebook, Twitter or other social media outlets. About 46 percent of student respondents said they frequently use social media platforms to get their news, compared to 51 percent in 2016. Local TV stations saw the sharpest drop in engagement, with the amount of teachers and students reporting they watch local news being cut in half since 2016. Only 21 percent of high school students view "fake news" as a threat to democracy but nearly twice that amount of teachers, 40 percent, see biased or unfair reporting as a threat to the country.
