[quote=Anonymous][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]
But this problem goes deeper.  It’s values and these kids are raised with absolutely zero.  They live in a culture glorifies immediate reward and no consequences for one’s actions.  This same culture has also ruthlessly silenced any criticism of someone’s lifestyle as being culturally insensitive or perpetuating “____-centric” norms.  Want to know who failed these kids?  Look in the mirror.[/quote]

That’s what’s insane. At no point is there any self accountability for these actions. It’s always “the system did this!” and because of hyper wokeness anyone who says otherwise will lose their job or be shamed on social media. So there really is no recourse. It’s just a super liberal city council that will continue to pass soft on crime laws that allow crime with impunity and then a bunch of poor people or gentrifiers getting shot and life just goes on apparently. Don’t even think about actually policing anymore. That’s racist.[/quote]
