"...too few school police..." Perhaps the most telling statement about the differences between inner city schools and "outer-burb" schools and how the education system has completely and utterly failed.
The only police presence I felt during school was the annual visit by McGruff the crime dog and Officer Friendly.
Granted I went to school way out in the country and it was xx years ago.
Is it the school district's fault that they have a student body that needs to be policed? No, but they're still forced to manage this growing mass of unmotivated students on a daily basis. You cannot teach what is not willing to be learned.
How much of a monster would I appear to be if I suggested that we no longer make school mandatory for those under the age of 18?
