Re: Paul Pastorek wants to put violent students back in scho
Posted by Johnv on 4/11/08

    We educators cannot see the forest for the trees sometimes. If we
    cannot break the cycle of ignorance (for these you want tossed out
    of school and placed in institutions,) they will continue to see
    violence as the only recourse. What do you think is learned in
    institutions? Only how to be more violent and how to cover tracks;
    not how to redirect their lives into paying jobs and productive
    members of society. We are very short sighted when the classroom
    disturbance is all you see. If that's all you see, thats all you
    get!
