[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kind of articles intentionally or unintentionally seem to put the blame on schools or the system and maybe that's what it is. But when you look at three of the student examples in the article -- the really bad outcome weren't even during school time. The youngster shot breaking into cars at 4 am. The youngster killed an hour before the first bell rang at school. The girls 12-15 years old who kicked a man to death around 1 am. How are schools supposed to help kids who don't make it to the schoolhouse doors? Or is the idea that if school were more engaging these children wouldn't be out early morning/late night involved in bad situations? [/quote] It's ridiculous to blame the schools for these cases. And doing so impels the schools to devote resources to problems they can't solve.[/quote]
