Should not put schools and low-paid teachers in charge of making kids not kill people.
Kids do this because they know there are very few legal consequences and they do not value human life.
Not teachers per se, but school administrators. People just say "schools" but don't necessarily mean teachers. I remember real consequences at school for fighting and gang activity. We had juvie and then there was a military style boot camp school. Instead of terrorizing the rest of the school, those kids left.
You had a juvenile delinquency program and a military school alternative at your school and the children who attended those programs never were allowed back to normal classes? The school district paid for that?
That’s not a regular school btw. That’s not mentors and coaches and a regular school enrollment and experience. Edward James Olmos doesn’t hold an assembly and sing lean on me and all the gang members think about their grandma and join the debate club, etc, in the real world .

There is also clearly a problem with a lack of discipline at school and at home because things had to get this bad.
How is that relevant? You wouldn't go to jail if your kids carjacked a car and killed someone.
Which is weird, right?
You won’t go to jail for either.

Enough is enough. If these teens are going to be reckless enough to deliberately endanger someone's life and kill them, they should be getting 25 years in actual prison (transition them at age 21).

+1000. This is out of control.

It is not just a matter of being in a school building during school hours.

This is so, so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what this man's family is going through.
These teens need to serve time. A lot of time. Actions have consequences.

This happened at 1:30 am, you guys. This has nothing to do with school.
