Oh wow you are never going to accomplish this. I mean even parents who have their kids in sports and activities are not going to sign off on a law that REQUIRES them to do it, that's not reasonable.
I do think much tougher enforcement for school truancy is needed. There are kids who go to a school once or twice a week starting in kindergarten. I know schools do outreach and CPS gets involved, but it's not cutting it. How about we make sure kids actually go to school before we start forcing them to work or do activities after school.
Whjy cant parent be held accountable for crimes committed by their kids? They have legal rights to everything else related to their kids?
Usually Dad is in jail , deadbeat, or otherwise not in the picture. Mom has her own issues- mentally , pre occupied, checked out, never home, etc.
These are highly dysfunctional, no positive role model, really sad families . These kids' formative years were not with people who win parent of the year awards.
Well, if kids are in school for most waking hours, there is an escape and an opportunity, for children and parents both.
The gangs are in the schools.
Break them up, smaller class size, mandatory sports/extracurriculars, required service hours, part time work, strict policies, anti-gang culture. There are many ways to bring change.
Spend a day substituting in a school, especially a HS, in SE and let me know if your theoretical plan gains any traction.
OK racist. Just say you wanna lock all black kids up because they scare you.

Their phones should be locked, no internet browsing during duty hours, only to bypassed for family emergency.
but of course they'll police themselves.
Given the crime in DC, I don't understand why we think more police will help. They already don't do their jobs and when they do, they do so poorly. Our crime closure rates are awful and MPD cannot be bothered with traffic enforcement.

Its a shame we spent all that money rebranding Wilson into Jackson Reed instead of just dealing with the name, and actually using money for teaching!

Why schools aren't using power of social media for change?

We need district level policy change, a substitute has no power or resources.

Politicians outside D.C., you mean? Yes. D.C. lawmakers may soon not have much of a say over local policy if the GOP takes both houses of Congress (and if the Biden White House does as little to defend D.C. autonomy as the Obama White House did).
Access to birth control and abortion is necessary but knocking common sense into fertile people should be part of the package.

Coddling irresponsible parents and rebellious teens isn't the only way to help them, try counseling, positive peer/social media pressure and tough love.
