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.
What are you gonna do? They make life miserable for the other kids!
The argument for public school is that we can’t throw the troubled kids away.
YES, at a REFORM SCHOOL, you don’t kick the troubled kids out..unless they just don’t show any hope. And there’s lots of security :)
At a regular school..if it’s too late then it’s too late. They are what their parents are.
I TRIED to fix to broken kids from Brownsville Brooklyn. Dated the mom a few times (I was a little crazy at the time) and just took a liking to the 13 and 15 year old boys.
They were Puerto Rican.
4 years I tried. And I was TOUGH with them, bug gave them love they had never seen before.
Even at those ages, it was too late.
One started to show sociopathic tendencies and that was it for me!!
Your daugther turned out great, I bet :)
I’m glad.
