How does this sound now? Each day too many of our children go to school to learn, only to witness some form of school violence -- school violence in the form of bullying, disrespect toward authority figures, trash talking, and the secret carrying and displaying of dangerous weapons, to name a few.
Revised:
Each day many of our children who are in school to learn, bear witness to some form of school violence consisting of bullying, disrespect toward authority figures, verbal/threatening abuse and the secret carrying and displaying of dangerous weapons, to name a few.
Just how I would word it, but your way was just as fine. :)
