[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not just a matter of being in a school building during school hours.

School creates a community of sorts.   It is about some sort of accountability - which tends to be reinforced by a school schedule and all that goes with it - sports, extra curriculars, seeing trusted adults/teachers/coaches.

Stop discounting or excusing DCPS failures.  Goodness - yet another person is dead at the hands of teenagers.  Yes, no school DOES have something to do with it.   See the WSJ articles today on no school in Latin America - so the kids joined gangs.[/quote]

Should not put schools and low-paid teachers in charge of making kids not kill people.

Kids do this because they know there are very few legal consequences and they do not value human life. [/quote]

Not teachers per se, but school administrators. People just say "schools" but don't necessarily mean teachers. I remember real consequences at school for fighting and gang activity. We had juvie and then there was a military style boot camp school. Instead of terrorizing the rest of the school, those kids left. [/quote]

You had a juvenile delinquency program and a military school alternative at your school and the children who attended those programs never were allowed back to normal classes? The school district paid for that?

That’s not a regular school btw. That’s not mentors and coaches and a regular school enrollment and experience. Edward James Olmos doesn’t hold an assembly and sing lean on me and all the gang members think about their grandma and join the debate club, etc, in the real world .[/quote]
