They do put prisoners to work around here but I wouldn’t want them in our schools. Homeless people are most often homeless because of alcohol or drug addiction so, no to them too.

When I was in Jr. High a family moved to the dump, they were called rag pickers back then. They lived in an old school bus and had 8 children. The bigger kids slept in a tent. One of them was my age and his last name started with P so he was usually sitting next to me and boy did he stink. The school gave he and his brother a job and allowed them to use the showers, TBTG, and life was much better for them, their family and even me.

I agree. I don’t want prisoners or homeless people near children. That just seems like a recipe for pure disaster. I went to Catholic School and each teacher had their own classroom. The TEACHER was responsible for keeping it tidy. The janitor of the school would focus on the bathrooms and sweeping. Granted, the teachers had us wipe down the desks and pick up scraps from the floor. Actually, the rooms always stayed pretty clean.
