[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Can't wade through 34 pages but here is my perspective, based solely on the details of the WTOP story.

I don't think the City is taking a reasonable response. They need to ask why this is happening. In the article I read, a couple owed over $200k in tuition for 3 kids plus over $300k in fines. They were both DC police officers. I feel the City should allow city employees to send their kids to DC schools for free, since we probably don't pay our city civil servants enough to cover tuition and the crazy traffic makes it hard to get home to an affordable neighborhood to pick kids up after school or hire someone. We should just provide this as a benefit so we can be assured of having a good workforce. Otherwise, we won't be able to fill lower-paying jobs. Hard to complain about package theft and worse when we can't provide sufficient benefits to our police. Also, the whole focus seems to be on punishing the students by hunting them out and kicking them out. It's not the kids' fault. [b]This is a policy failure.[/b]

No, it's not.  It's a failure of character.  Those who are in positions of public trust but break the public trust do not deserve their jobs.[/quote]
