Its true sadly...but if the Board of Education would grow a pair and make the punishments for violation of public school rules. Zero Tolerance enforcement would be a start. Expel the little bastards so they can stop disrupting our childrens time for education.
Because frankly...

...in Reading and Mathmatics skills determined by standardized testing in the state of Kansas. These rankings for our area schools are just outrageous and it is because of all the student who don't give a flying rat's @$$ about their education and their only real goal is to cause as many problems for everyone else.
Schooldigger.com -- Search and compare elementary, middle, and high schools. For reference on these stats. They are mostly only up to date as of the 2004 school year. But the stats are probably worse now.
I spent my entire schooling in public schools (except half of 3rd grade and all fo 4th grade). I think that had their been less gang activity - there would have been a significantly better level of education. I'm not asking for segregation. I'm asking for enforcement of the policies already in place. Is that really so much to ask? Expulsion is the only key to removing gang violence and other shifty activities from our schools. And maybe, just maybe we could up our numbers a bit if the Board of Education would allow for this kind of punishment for bad behavior.
