They had been held for a metal detector search...? It doesn't sound like a school it sounds like a prison.
When do we finally come to the conclusion that not everyone should be required to have a public education? As long as schools have to have cameras and metal dectators it's educational mission is compromised to a point where it's not worth much.
Jerks who don't want to learn and keep others from leaning MUST be barred.
Absolutely. But the free babysitting that public schools provide has allowed women to work which has allowed the govt to increase taxes everywhere.
It won't be easy to break the cycle. Every community I've lived in continues to raise their school levy.
One of these days we'll recognize that children really do need to be raised by adults who care about them, not teachers, and that capitalism will fail without human capital.
End compusory government schooling.
