[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't about MCPS. This is about the fact that [b]there is no place for all these kids to go who aren't interested in studying[/b]. If you fail them for skipping, then they are back in the class next year being disruptive and disrespectful to a new set of students and teachers. If you fail them out entirely, they won't be able to get jobs.

If a kid is skipping or vaping all day, that's on the parents. They haven't done their job. They haven't instilled a hard work ethic. Schools have the unfortunate responsibility of playing babysitter to society's wastrels and reprobates.

Offer an alternative. Something like JobCorp or the CCC for youth ages 14-17. Pay the minimum wage, a transportation stipend, and provide 3 meals a day. Offer eight week night courses for those interested, academic or vocational. Allow participants to cycle back to public school each quarter if they want. If students successfully complete a quarter, they can re-up with a raise. [/quote]
