Problem kids need somewhere to go. That's the issue, and it's actually a financial one.

Public schools are obligated to educate all kids.

Some kids with special needs can theoretically be placed in private schools, paid by MCPS, however in practice, the wait lists are terribly long and a lot of children with severe needs cannot get an appropriate placement at all.

The violent children have a similar problem: they have a school that can take them in, but due to space constraints, these children are placed back in mainstream schools after a while. Often not their home school, but another school. Sometimes violent kids attend several schools in MCPS before aging out of the system. They leave a trail of destruction, because their needs are complex and cannot be addressed (severe mental issues combined with disastrous home lives).

[b]So[/b] we need to come up with more money to build a larger facility to educate violent minors. This is in everyone's best interest, because we do not want violent kids terrorizing adults and children in mainstream schools.

So, YOU are going to "teach/babysit" those students at THAT "larger facility?"[/quote]
