One pic/story can certainly do a lot to quash the carefully crafted image of public schools.
Ironically the liberal policies that produce violent young cretins results in the need to train and pay these ‘resource officers.’
Excerpt:
One of the primary responsibilities of the school resource officers is to assist administrators in dealing with disruptive behavior, emergencies and investigations, said Marita Loose, spokeswoman for Frederick County Public Schools. They also serve as positive role models in the school community.
...
Being proactive and preventing crimes are among the officers’ goals, Landahl said. They also teach a lesson during the school year about search and seizure in the schools’ government classes and take their “DUI Gator” vehicle to educate students about the dangers of drinking and driving.
The officers “are part of that school’s community,” he said.
Well, since the “war on terrorism” is over and not all have abortins, this might be the next best thing to shooting up some kids ... . Besides it’s all part of the COMMUITY effort to get these littel terrorists under control.
Can you imagine if you were a kid and saw THIS in the hallway?
I bet the salaries of those 3 men are not considered a school expense and do NOT show up in the figures for how much it costs to educate at child in that state.
Police salaries for those assigned to government schools in my state are NOT included in school expense figure. Neither are the pensions and health insurance of retired school employees. Once retired, teachers and other school employees fall into the general category of retire state workers.
So....Whenever you see the figure for what it costs to educate a child in your state, mentally double it. You likely won’t be far off the true cost.
Look at the kind of fun homeschoolers miss out on!
It wasn’t long ago that we would have been shocked right out of our oxfords about this. Now...... we’re not shocked about much of anything.
