[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was struck that in the Post interview he said the priority was not academics — it was safety. It really underscores how much work he has to do that right now academics can’t be a priority in a school system. [/quote] If you fix academics and give kids what they need, they may not act up as much and safety could approve. [/quote] Or vice versa: If school is safe and kids aren't skipping school because they're afraid of witnessing drug overdoses or getting jump, then maybe they won't be chronically absent and miss classroom time, which impacts their academics. They go hand in hand, really. Some kids can't focus on academics because the school isn't safe. Some kids are behaving in an unsafe manner because the academics have failed them.[/quote]
