Maybe I've just missed it but has anyone on this list spoken of the young child who was abused at Benjamin Banneker school?
Frankly I don't read a lot of the posting relating to education. I wish I had more interest but not being in a place where that is an issue I tune out. I read some but I find myself more likely to read the stories I see in community papers. Like Lynnel's or Sarah Dunaway's letter to the Editor in SW Journal. I understand her point perfectly about wanting her child go to school with her neighbor's child at the other end of the block. Busing, for all it was supposed to achieve, had a devastating effect on neighborhoods. More importantly, children were harmed in ways I'm not sure were made up for by being bussed around the city. Such was(is) the problem with "separate but equal". It never was. But I've digressed from my beginning..... What I do not tune out is a young child being abused by two older children in school. What I especially do not tune out is the reaction of the school officials. Can we say TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. I'm with Mike Sauro on this one. Teachers teach, police police.
