And when Sheff VS Oniell goes into full effect, those same dicipline problems will be sent to Windsor, Bloomfield, Whethersfield...and then, when those kids are suspended 3 times in a month, and those schools finally expell the kids, the school systems will be at fault. Not he kids

My understanding of the settlement iis that the majority of kids in these really bad schools will probably stay there, since presumably most of their parents don't care about education and won't bother to send them to a suburban "magnet" school.

That settlement will divide the Hartofrd community into "haves" who go to magnet schools and "have nots" who stay in horrendous Hartford schools.

After reading this article I began to understand why the minority community in Hartford was so accepting of Clinton regardless of his endless criminal and unethical behavior. All of it fell within the bounds of "normal" behavior at their public schools!

I was hoping that this thread could also get into how these problems could be resolved.

My proposals (are ou listening governor RINO?):

(1) Treat youthful offenders as adults.

(2) Jail any teacher or administrator who attempts to cover up a criminal act.

(3) Jail parents of children who commit criminal acts.

(4) Close all schools in areas of town that are unsafe due to significant crime in the neighborhood.

(5) Instead of teaching kids about "diversity" and "black history" start teaching them about moraiity and responsibiiity for their own actions.

(6) Take one really bad kid a year and put him in the stock in front of the old state house so passersby can spit at him. It worked for the Puritans. It can work for Connecticut today.

I do not think that the schools should be teaching morality, for that is one of the reasons we have the problems we do today: we have the governments version of morality!

We need a statewide effort to have the governor to call in all preachers in the towns and cities and tell them to start preaching about sin and a responsibility to God, that will cause people to think of right and wrong, which is where these problems arise from.

Next, we need to stop thinking that gimmmicks are the solution, when the solution is more work, harder studying, more homework and higher standards, and holding to those standards!

Switching schools because one school system is bad? Dont even think of stopping that which is bad in the bad system, just change the school the kid goes to? Leave the bad school bad and not even try to fix it?

Sounds like a joke I tell about how clean I keep my apartment:

Clean? Why Clean? Just move!
