re: WTF! Alabama legislators pass bill making it even tougher to get rid of bad kids!

These kids should be sent to trade schools if they cannot function in regular school settings. They will perform better in school under a different structure and be able to be productive members of society with what they have learned in school at a young age. Many are going to end up where they would have ended up anyway, even with trade school, but at least this gives them a second chance at something they could actually do.

The square peg the government keeps trying to fit into a round hole doesn’t work for education.

Regardless, the privileged will continue to excel in this country. Those that focus on family and education are the privileged in the US. A focus on those two things greatly increases odds of success here.
