It just breaks my heart to see what has happened to so many of the "high risk" students. The drop out rate is abysmal and their chances to succeed are so diminished. We simply have to try something different and start defunding the status quo. In many schools the per pupil expenditure is well over $10K. Just throwing good money after bad isn't working.

My goodness, we really need Vocational Schools to at least offer many students an alternative and a shot at a trade. They sure as hell don't need to learn a trade in prison.

To me it seems that the system is "rotten to the core" and must be torn down and rebuilt. But that is just me ranting
