This is why in a lot of places refugees are put in nicer houses in nicer areas - so they don't have to deal with the same shit they had to deal with back in the camps. But conservatives will whine and bitch about how they're being treated better than "ordinary citizens" so shit like this happens. Fuck me the right is retarded.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50924965]How are they greedy for wanting an education that [I]isn't[/I] focused around criminal/mentally disturbed students?[/QUOTE] They're not greedy for wanting it, they're greedy for suing a system that's only the way that it is because of how poor it is.
This is just embarrassing. I feel literally embarrassed on behalf of the numbnuts at the central pennsylvania school district who thought this was a good fucking idea. Wtf was going through their heads that made them think "yep, these kids want to get a quality education, let's throw them in disciplinary school!"
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50914207]jesus christ can you imagine living 12 years of your life in a refugee camp[/QUOTE] I've met a Palestinian refugee in his 50's from Syria that had spend his entire life in refugee camp. That's just messed up.
The real question is why the refugee kids ended up in a school clearly designed for delinquents in the first place, not that the school exits.
Take away their refugee status, and make them citizens because that's the most American thing you can do.
Obligatory music for a thread about shitty education: [video=youtube;YR5ApYxkU-U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5ApYxkU-U&t=2m20s[/video] I have to say, we have a really fucked up standard of education inequality here in PA. This is the kind of shit that happens when you impose rigorous testing on children for decades and ignore the problems with sub par schools. This has been a problem here ever since Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act almost 15 years ago.
[QUOTE=phygon;50924968]Maybe deal with the issues that lead to the school having to act that way in the first place[/quote] You expect refugee kids to combat local poverty and crime to get a better education? [QUOTE=phygon;50924968] Maybe deal with the school's likely horrible under-funding[/quote] Ah, the old "throw money at it and it'll work" routine. Though that sort of requires some money to throw at the problem, if I recall correctly. [QUOTE=phygon;50924968]Maybe approach this through pushed legislation or literally anything else other than taking away money from the obviously already-crippled school[/quote] Yeah, push through legislation that may not come to fruition until they're all in there 20s. And that's if it's successfully passed. Also are you aware that lawsuits do not always require a monetary reward if successful? They can literally sue to go to a better school. [QUOTE=phygon;50924968] Suing a district that's already that poor isn't going to help anything[/QUOTE] Well it's getting the media's attention. That's a success.
