The whole article seems geared towards the TRUTH that these kids were lost causes from a lost household from the start.
What’s a board of education gonna do to fix that?
It doesn’t take a village.

I honeslty can’t believe what I reading. I’m actually having to read this several times to take it all in.
Kids going to kindergarten and not potty trained? We were not allowed to attend nursery school if we were not potty trained. The schools should not allow them in if they are not, teacher are not there to change diapers all day. What is this? A child at 5 should be potty trained.
Thank god we sent my daughter to private school. They dealt with abusive kids the way they were dealt with in my day. They tossed them out of school. No hand wringing.
