As I've said before, the violent students need alternative schools, paid for by taxpayers. Right now there's one alternative school, and since it's too small, kids get sent back to their home school or endlessly transferred to other regular schools, once they've done their stint there. There is a pattern of violent repeat offenders creating chaos in multiple schools just because the system shuffles them from school to school.

This has to stop.



Well, there's also a state legislative problem in that according MD state law, kids really can't be permanently expelled like they used to be when we had Mark Twain. So the alternative schools are small because they're meant to be temporary holding grounds for troubled kids. Not permanent placements.

People don’t care because it’s a school full of minorities. There are some days I regret not letting my daughter go there where she’d see more kids like her, and other days like today where I’m thankful she’s somewhere else. It’s really frustrating.
