"They're often unsafe, underfunded, poorly run, crumbling, and challenged in so many ways that the situation can feel hopeless.""<br /><br />It's almost stunning how someone can get the diagnosis so right but the treatment so wrong. It's like your doctor detects a tumor in your brain so he puts you on insulin.<br /><br />I dunno, call me crazy, but if buildings are unsafe and crumbling, isn't the solution to fix them up? If schools are underfunded, isn't the solution to, well, fund them? If social issues are a problem, shouldn't we focus on social and emotional development? And, most of all, if they're poorly run, shouldn't we be focusing on, well, the people who run them?Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
