Preventing conflicts by school staff works by addressing issues before they escalate and by shaping a positive, predictable school environment. When staff implement preventive measures—such as teaching and reinforcing social-emotional skills, establishing clear expectations and rules, supervising common conflict hot spots, using consistent discipline, and offering early intervention or peer mediation—the triggers and opportunities for disputes are reduced. Students learn better ways to handle disagreements, feel safer, and see that conflicts are managed constructively, which lowers both how often conflicts happen and how severe they become when they do occur. While outcomes can vary based on how consistently and effectively these practices are applied, the overall effect is a real decrease in both frequency and intensity of conflicts, so the statement is true.
