Right. Depending on the severity of the behavior or crime i could agree with that but let's take for instance that death threat that kid made. I agree it should be taken seriously as a thought crime but that does that mean that kid is beyond repair? You can't lock up or abandon every kid that expresses a sick thought or is going thru a rebellious phase.

lock up

Compulsory education by definition locks up every kid in the country.

I mean that as a side point not a deflection.

To deal with what you’re talking about directly... **** man, I don’t know.

School shouldn’t be compulsory. And if it is going to be compulsory there should be at least ten or so different tracks.

Like nature track- where they hang out in the woods and camp and fish

Trade track - learn how to fix ****

Play track- mess around playing video games or ice hockey and ping pong and darts and ****

Sports track - self explanatory

STEM track- self explanatory

Read and discussion track-

Traditional track (the only choice today)

Farming

Arts (kind of exists)

These schools that are funneled like prisons end up with kids who act like prisoners

Imagine that

Yeah this.

I am not a Donald fan but what's he done wrong there?

[Frownland]

It's dishonest and meaningless. I just posted that because it's what Chula told me when I pointed it out when Trump met the Parkland shooting victims.

Hasn't really said anything wrong.

It is sad and it has been going on for too long.

Would be better if he did something to stop it happening again though.

Out of context there's nothing wrong with it. In the context of not doing anything to back up the sentiment along with a tradition of politicians globbing onto tragedy to either gain points or just keep up appearances, it's hard to view it as anything but dishonest or at the very least an empty cliche.
