[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools and crime.[/quote] With a new focus on reducing incarceration at any cost as a means of harm reduction, coupled with progressive educational reform policies such as ending Gifted and talented classes, ending tracking, and entrance exams to rigorous schools, I don’t see how we’re going to improve the situation. We are essentially watering down the criminal justice system so it’s more permissive in the face of rising crime and we’re doing the same for education out of amorphous equity goals. Basically, we need to arrest and incarcerate violent felons and about education…I have no idea. The problem seems intractable. The parents blame the schools. The schools blame funding woes or whatever else…the whole things a mess. We have a hard time with accountability these days.[/quote]
