Do you think it would help or is it too late?
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.
It’s take 2 good parents. Or, if one passes, one really good parent.
Like my aunt Carmella, who raised 3 boys with great success by using the “spoon” when necessary :) I didn’t get hit since I wasn’t her kid. I just watched in the corner!!
Since this was 50 years ago, I dont think child services will interfere so it was ok to write this :)
And I think private schools are going to BOOM under POTUS Trump.
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.
The intervention needed has to be profound. This is a lack of parenting.
For my money, this is the #1 issue DJT has to tackle, worthy of a national emergency: How to set up campfires (metaphorically speaking) throughout the nation and talk about parenting, the Bible, and producing moral citizens.
I started out as a special ed teacher in a state school for emotionally disturbed kids. Special education fell into disfavor. Mentally ill kids were mainstreamed into regular classrooms. Predictably chaos reigns and teachers need to have the crazy kids segregated again. My idea is that public schools should be downsized to serve special needs kids and let the normal kids go to charter, religious or private schools. It would save a lot of money.
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.
"You can reason with the child."
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.
Wallen said she didn’t feel like sending these students home was the best answer

Duh OK
yeah like you can reason with an alligator...
“This is a lack of parenting.”
Right... AND all the things which cause it. We can’t cultivate 2 or 3 generations of feral breeding and expect anything better
Sen. Patrick Moynihan among others sounded the alarm bell on this back in the 1960's.
It doesn’t take a village.
I think you misunderstand what “board of education” is referring to here. Think something that hangs on the wall behind the Principal’s desk, not a gathering of administrators.
If they’re behaving like that at ages 5,6 and 7, they’re hard wired by that time and will likely have a lifetime of exhibiting violence.
Why do I think “Ken”’s real name is more like “Keyshawn?”
I doubt that will work since it's just a classroom extension of the violence that is likely happening at home.
If they are younger then 50 they most likely have no clue.
No corporal punishment will not help.
These children need to be identified and removed from the schools. The younger ones need to go to homes for mentally and/ or emotionally
emotionally troubled children. To be assessed and taught according to ability.
The older ones need to go to single sex reform school where they are separated from society evaluated and the salvageable ones taught a trade. All taught how to behave decently.
Some will need to go into lifelong care in a mental institution to protect them and to protect society.
There are no other options. These are the options we had before the mental hospitals and child care homes were closed.
Also need to remove these patients rights so they can be cared for.
These are feral children.
Unparented.
Once I had a family look at the apartment I had. Mother bragged about the size of their disability check.
Child did not know what a living room was.
