Speaking with one voice Monday, the city's education leaders said Philadelphia School District buildings ought to be crowded with essentials for urban children and their families: social services, health care, job training.
Actually, Council President Darrell L. Clarke said, that sort of full service is already happening. In Philadelphia's jails.
"You can't tell me that we can deliver these services in a prison and we can't deliver them in schools," Clarke said.

After all, we all belong to the government- as some lunatic lib stated a while back, probably as a trial balloon, to see just how dumbed-down they have made the general population.
The Philadelphia school system in BANKRUPT.
It costs more than $16,000 per student per year.
It has one of the highest drop-out rates and lowest literacy and math scores in the country.
The teachers pay nothing for health care. Have insane pensions and work barely 8 months a year.
And this cutie wants to make it just like the prisons...
YGBKM. Why doesn't the city just "adopt" the little tykes and tykettes (or is that thugs and thugettes)?
"You can't tell me that we can deliver these services in a prison and we can't deliver them in schools,"
A statement so dripping in irony, it needs no comment.
He has a point making the schools more like the prisons; it reflects the career path for many in Philly.
I guess that is to make the kids feel “more at home”.
Just one more idiotic Democrat / liberal idea to achieve Utopia. This type of person has no clue about what it means to live in reality.
By the time the services actually trickle down to the kids every politician and union will have had a piece of the pie.
For that amount, just give the parents the cash and let them choose a private school.
They can play ball with their daddy in the yard.
