Teacher shot by her 6 year old student in critical condition

Your observation that 95% of the alternative schools are in urban communities is interesting. This likely sparks debate if minority students in urban environments are more likely to be placed in an an alternative school environment --- and if this helps or hinders their progress. A;long with the typical school to prison pipeline commentary.

The other question is if these alternative schools in urban areas are charter or private schools --- or are nearly all of them public.

I grew up in the suburbs but very close to large urban communities.

I can not remember any alternative schools in the suburbs nor in any nearby suburbs but I do remember alternative schools in the nearby big cities (e.g. Chicago). In addition, I do remember a problem-violent kid in my neighborhood...the parents pulled him out of school and homeschooled him plus they had private tutors/weekly sessions at a psychologist to help them...

They could easily afford it.
  • The kid went on to get into Princeton. :D
Anyways, off the top of my head, I will quickly blame available resources or lack of them for the unusual 95% statistics. I did find another unusual fact...alternative schools do bring down the property value of nearby homes in the school zone.

Thus, maybe the suburbs are better (have reasons a school district may listen to) at fighting their school district about alternative school locations than those in urban communities.

I told you to go elsewhere...did not say NOT to call him out considering his facts in this thread were right on about the shooting and alternative schools.

Tony, seriously, you can smarten up and participate with answers about the shooting or continue being a dickhead or pussy whichever you prefer to be. Your choice.

I've now talked down & belittle you enough in response. You're welcome to the last comment "to me" in this thread about your issue with GWB or the shooting itself. Yet, be aware that if you continue with this without me... it's reflective of another problem beyond you having emotional outbursts.

"I will note that clowns that call you "the biggest fucking liar on this forum" can never back up their assertions with examples and facts."

I could show pages and pages where I have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that GWB will completely and totally wrong. Yet he maintains that he isn't. Just because he claims it wasn't proven doesn't mean it isn't. Its important to understand that.

Then GWB claims umbrage when people attack him, claiming a lack of civility. But again, I can show you post after post of equal lack of civility from him - including making up things I've said or supported. When asked for proof, he obfuscates and deflects, as people in the wrong who cannot be man enough to admit being wrong are wont to do. And so he ran off to hide.

As for wrbtrader - dude put me on ignore long ago, not because we got into any overly unpolite discourse (certainly not more than others have) but because he couldn't tolerate a disagreement. Kinda the same way Cuddles ran off. And then they both like to throw stones from behind the curtain in courageous fashion.

That isn't at all what I think. How would you know anyway when you have no idea what half of my posts are without logging out to see what I've read?

Grow a pair and engage, and you can see directly what I think.

I grew up in Long Island (Nassau county) in an area near the NYC (Queens) line. Our school system had an alternative school which it shared with two other school districts. Students with issues from all three school systems were placed in the alternative school (which had several different buildings and supported K-12).

However in the modern era, this alternative school has been shut down and is no longer used by all three school districts. Students with issues are "mainstreamed" rather than being sent to an alternatives school. "Mainstreaming" has been the trend in recent years -- but it brings all the problems to the classroom which I outlined earlier.

That drives me insane, especially coming from a fellow Long Islander...

You grew up ON the island, not IN it! AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

LOL. Some folks get get hung up on the LI nomenclature. I have been out of Long Island for over 30 years.

Pfffht, I guess I'll give that a pass, as it's technically "I have been off of Long Island..."

But who am I to pick nits?

Oh, I did there. Scratch that.

(Good thing they don't have an In-and-Out burger there, or we'd be in real trouble.)
