If you don’t want to be in class, fine!
Attempts to force a traditional post-elementary education on a low-IQ high impulsivity population are first of all doomed to fail and second of all will require increasing levels of coercion, especially of males, as their age increases.
The obvious answer to preserve some semblance of education after eighth grade is entrance exams for free high school - if your IQ is too low or you don’t want to go, that’s fine.
High school isn’t prison, it’s time to stop running it like one.

It’s important for understanding the story what ‘students with disabilities’ really means. They aren’t really talking about kids in wheelchairs, but rather with kids who have been ‘diagnosed’ with mental and behavioral problems. For example the student beat the teacher’s aide into unconsciousness was ‘disabled’. So was the dress-wearing boy who raped girls in the girls restroom.
Schools are not legally allowed to severely discipline such students if their behavior is connected to their disability. My favorite is Oppositional Defiance Disorder. That means the kid doesn’t like doing what he’s told to do and acts out accordingly. If you tell him to not use his phone, he punches you in the face.
If there is an L.E.O. they might actually arrest the precious ‘disabled’ child and we really can’t have that, can we?
“The report found that Black students’ /arrest/crime rates are 7.4 times higher, Latino students’ /arrest/crime rates are 6.9 times higher,
arrest? ...... crime seems to fit better
.... and ........ that's racist

I wouldn’t send my child to such a hellhole school.
What? I thought the California position was that guns are bad.
AT least they aren’t asking the Parents to teach their children the difference between Right and Wrong.
Guns? Shouldn’t the schools be screaming bloody murder over this? Oh sorry this is to protect the school officials. Never mind
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Why on God's green earth would someone send their kids to schools these days?
If they are so violent and crime ridden that they need armed resource officers, it's no place to make your kids go.
This is a radically expensive proposition for a state that can’t afford it.
I feel myself so lucky. I went to high school in the bad old days of segregation in Washington DC at Central Hight School (now called Cardozo Educational Campus). We had a cadet corps in which we marched with rifles (firing pins removed). Cadet offices and first sergeants wore swords they brought to school on the busses and streetcars like my brother’s high school rifle team brought their .22 target rifles. John Philip Sousa had written a march for for the cadets years before about the time my mother went there. I studied French, English and English literature, art, history, biology, chemistry, government, geometry and college algebra (calculus and Latin and other languages were offered). When I went to college, it was a breeze. Just like more high school. Grade school was a bit different.
So - when LEOs are on-scene, more criminals are apprehended - and since not enough of the criminals are White, that makes it racist...
Chicago Board of Education votes to remove school resource police officers from CPS schools

CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago’s Board of Education made a decision Thursday on CPS school resource officers.
In a unanimous vote, Chicago’s Board of Education approved a plan to remove police officers from Chicago Public Schools, starting next school year.
Dozens of students who want to see police out of their schools rallied outside CPS headquarters Thursday morning.
CPS students from “Cops Out CPS” gathered to call on the Board of Education to remove police from schools and re-invest more than $10 million spent on police in school programs and resources.
Many students said the student resource officers are costly, ineffective and that the officers make them feel unsafe.
“It’s so important for me to speak up because I’m not able to speak up for my youth, they’re not gonna have the power to speak up so somebody needs to set the example so I’m gonna set the example for my youth to be able to speak up,” CPS student D’Andre Robinson said.
“We really need those funds so that Hyde Park can be a better place, other schools can be a better place,” CPS student Makayla Acevedo said. “My school does not have nursing programs...I don’t wanna have to go outside of high school to find resources just to build my goals to reach my goals.”
