[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s my solution:

Public schools must change their curriculum and approach to instill discipline and respect in children whose parents are failing miserably.

How?

Take a page out of the Jesuit Cristo Rey private school playbook.

Year round school.

Early morning start with breakfast and pro social education: etiquette, positive conversation, etc.

Rigorous academics

Uniforms

Religion

Volunteer work

Internships in high school to get them job-ready

Long school days with after school activities

Mandatory parental involvement

I’d be happy to provide wrap-around services for families that buy into this approach. It works. Google Cristo Rey schools. Data supports it.

A bunch of 12 and 13 year old DC girls recently beat a disabled man to death. These kids need discipline and accountability. Their parents can’t/won’t do it. Schools must. [/quote]

DC can't even enforce a curfew yet you expect them to do all that? DC has a truancy problem because they literally do nothing about it, no punishment or even a phone call to the parents. The reason DC has rising problems while other cities are recovering is that DC does nothing because any enforcement might disproportionately impact POC.[/quote]

DC selectively enforces truancy.  There were some parents who got in truancy trouble when their kid had to miss school for a music recital out of town, despite advance notice to their DCPS.  But then DCPS looks the other way, probably in passive frustration, with kids who habitually roam and create trouble.[/quote]
