What they’re talking about is ADA (Average Daily Attendance). What appeared in the story has little to do with ADA. Every school day, at 10:00AM, schools take an official attendance record for that day. Over the year those numbers get tabulated and averaged to serve as the basis for state funding the NEXT school year. Yes, ADA plays a small role in this, but not much. All of the misinformation on education galls me since I spent years working in public ed. I’m not a big fan. After Columbine I led a district effort to make our schools as safe as reasonably possible. It is a full time task. About 15 years ago the legislature founded something called AEP - Alternative Education Program - in every district. The AEP law is a joke. The net effect is that criminals under age 18 got foisted off onto public school districts instead of the juvenile justice system. Every day I left work thanking God we didn’t have anybody killed or raped that day - student or staff. Things just got worse after 2005 when the criminal element from New Orleans hit Texas after Katrina.

I'm curious what happened to the political career of the Mayor of Houston who magnanimously invited those from NO to "come on over". Still in office?

Why would any right thinking parent put their child into that situation? This isn't the “real” world. Never have I worked in a business where I feared being raped or killed, certainly not by any of the employees of the business.

Why do we ask children to put up with conditions that adults would never tolerate. If adults suffered the conditions that children endure they would be awarded millions in court and criminal charges would be leveled against the perps.

Then....To truly scramble the brains of kids, they are told that they need school for “socialization” , these are the best years of their lives, and that these prison-gang conditions are normal and will toughen them up. Is is any wonder that teens have sullen looks, answer in monosyllables, and have that distant despairing 20 degree off-centered stare when spoken to by adults?
