+1. The kids who are vandalizing bathrooms and fighting in middle and high school are the same kids who mostly come to school because their parents don't want to end up in court. They spend most of the day wandering the halls, making messes, and causing trouble. Put everything on Schoology and send them home with their laptops to learn. They're old enough to stay home alone and they have the tech skills to navigate the courses if they're inclined. [/quote]

I agree with sending them home, but finding the root causes of kids’ behavior would be the best route. They can’t learn if they have unsolved trauma. [b]They need to get the feelings and facts out in a civilized manner with a professional and a parent. [/b]
Public secondary schools look more like a penitentiary than an educational facility. This needs to change.

This is not the school's responsibility even though schools are doing most of the heavy lift. School counselors make recommendations and refer students and their families to community outreach programs, parenting classes, and free or low cost mental health services all the time. They can and should continue to do so but students shouldn't be allowed to derail everyone else's eduation because they have unsolved trauma. [/quote]

Between Trump’s EOs and DOGE, the number of outreach programs, parenting classes, and free or low cost mental health services will be declining sharply. Many of these programs were funded with federal grants.  I guess this is where RFK jr’s privately run farms will come in.  [/quote]
Kamala Harris wasn’t going to fix this.[/quote]
