What comes next, judge-imposed school budgets and taxes? I guess it makes as much sense as judge-imposed homosexual marriage.

Yep. Kansas City in the 1980s is a great negative example of this hubris.

You can GIVE knowledge, but there is no guarantee that someone will TAKE that knowledge.

Many moons ago I had a couple of engineers from Nicaragua. They had gone to school in one room schools with multiple grades. They spoke and wrote better English than any of my other engineers. They were great engineers. How much you get from your education has little to do with classrooms or class size. It has much more to do with the student and the student’s desire to learn. Both these guy said their parents were desperate for them to get a good education and immigrate to America. Both were supporting extended families.

It’d be interesting to see the familial set up of these at risk kids. It’s hard to believe that with June and Ward at home the state would still be failing the Beave.

Iirc, Federal courts have ruled that school systems have no obligation to produce particular results.

And the American public schools have excelled at that!

Indeed. It’s similar to the rulings that police have no enforceable obligation to protect any individual citizen or solve any particular crime.

School systems cry, “Just spend more money!” but there is, overall, a negative correlation between higher school spending and results.

School is not a right but a privilege. No one should be forced to impart their knowledge to an ungrateful brat.

This judge is the reason we have entitled bullies and school shooting terrorists

If the kids don’t want to study and the parents don’t care about learning, then what can the schools do?! Send the kids to janitor class. Teach them how to take out the garbage.

Yes, and the budget part is already done. A long time ago I read on FR about a judge (in Arizona iirc) getting involved in school budget. It is crazy how much power the judges are allowed to have.

Equality is the same opportunities, not the same results. Results will vary depending upon the individual.

There is an unlimited amount of money that can be spent on “education” without impacting the actual accomplishments of students in any demographic category. Have a look at your own school district’s budget, and remember the employee pension liabilities are probably around 100% of the current operating budget.

What percentage of the “at risk” children were born out of wedlock and are being raised by welfare moms? Did the judge address that?
