[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throw students out who don't show up or have no motivation to learn, fire admin who ignores violence and who coerce teachers to fraud the numbers, and for gosh sakes pay teachers more so we can bring respect to our education system.[/quote]

Throw students out … to go where? Roam the streets and become petty criminals? The public schools are some of the lowest, last ditch places that kids can go to be fed, be under the care of reasonably responsible adults, and maybe learn to read. [/quote]

This looks a lot different at 7 than it does at 17. We should put a ton of resources into early elementary education, especially for the students who are below grade level or otherwise disadvantaged. We should not be coddling high schoolers or even middle schoolers who are threatening other students or staff members, roaming the halls instead of going to class, disrupting classes, or selling drugs on school property. Give them a virtual option they can do at home to fulfill diploma requirements and let everyone who is showing up and trying to learn do so in peace.[/quote]
