[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Virginia can create public schools for really troubled teens who are a danger to general population school students.  [/quote]

We used to have those. Now those kids are walking the hallways with protections.[/quote]

Yep, we had them in LCPS when I was in school from 1992-2001. It was Douglas School in Leesburg (it's currently being renovated).

It's where the kids who were caught with drugs got sent and also the kids who were constant disruptions/discipline issues. The boy who pat a girl's butt in 9th grade got sent there for the rest of his HS career. The girls who snorted pixie stix like coke in 7th grade got sent there until 9th grade. The kid who slapped a teacher got sent there.

Now all those kids get to remain in mainstream school because "everyone has a right to an education."  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Most districts in the DMV used to have really good ED programs for kids who could not handle the Gen Ed environment. The pendulum swung too far when they started placing students into these programs for things like snorting pixie dust or one time minor weed possession. That was never the point of those programs and using them for those cases created the argument that they were a needless expense for school districts, who jumped at the chance to save money. Now it’s gone too far in the other direction and kids with very serious problems are expected to be kept in the same classrooms as everyone else. This LCPS case is more extreme than most but parents would be appalled if they knew what goes on in regular classrooms. [/quote]
