1. Mmmm. Great idea

Let the kids know where they stand from the gitgo.

8. Pardon, did you mistakenly type "gitgo" instead of "gitmo"?

One sarcasm burger, heavy on the irony.

2. Cops will always want to justify their jobs

And your idea would result in cops criminalizing behaviors that are really just normal school disciplinary matters.

I could very well see a child being cuffed and arrested for making a smart aleck remark to the teacher, or running in the hallway.

4. I would rather have an instructional

assistant!

6. The modern school was designed to produce obedient factory workers

As such, it is 50 years or so out of date.

Adding the majesty of the LAW to enforce and police this antiquated classroom setup is not going to improve the situation.

Nor will the economic capriciousness of charter schools bring new meaning and purpose to public education.

We need to reformulate and restate the purpose of public education so that the public accepts and supports it.

At that moment of epiphany, there will be no need and no desire for such hands-on regimentation.

7. How about we properly fund our public education system

and adopt strategies that work?
