Chicago FR just adding a little background. So far this school year 18 Chicago Public School students have been killed.

We have teen boys raping 14y/o girls who for some reason stray alone in parks at 12:30am
Teen held in sexual assault

Teens brutally killed an placed in garbage cans
Body Found In Trash Identified As 15-Year-Old

This is a little outside the box thinking.

I agree that the potential for abuse is there, but I also agree with Aaron that for some of these students, it can't get a lot worse.

The United States in general, and American education in particular, seems to have a history of pendulum swings---we never seem able to stop at a "happy medium" or realize that the optimum lies somewhere in between the two extremes.

This might be, as some posters have pointed out, a swing back toward orphanages.
