Solutions?

This movie goes to great length to tell you what is wrong in school, but does little to provide any solutions. Metal detectors, drug sniffing dogs, police guards and cameras are bad so what are the alternatives? 90% of the class is understanding the material with the method used but the teacher should find a way to get through to the other 10%? How? With what time? Kids shouldn't have one class after another, so how should their time be organized?

I'd like to see change in the school systems, but this film does little more than point out some of the problems. If this opens some eyes and leads to change, great. Still, I think it would have been helpful to hear some alternatives, not just complaints.

#1 - you can't have learning in these urban ghetto environments with all that gangsta-culture going on in the classroom

#2 - it's impossible for the few students who really want to learn to concentrate when all that mayhem is going on in class and in the hall ways

#3 - the teacher unions are looking out for their own interests and could give a fig about the kids really learning and developing as human beings

Basically the solution is "look the other way" and cry RACISM at every turn to thwart any solutions.

1) Spoken like a true racist moron with a big mouth, small dick, and even smaller brain. Get this, dumbfrack; black music isn't going back to the Motown era, ever, nor is black culture. Please try again.

2) What taxes, if any are you prepared to pay to make sure that schools are better funded and free from such 'mayhem'?

3) Is there anything that you can say that isn't teacher bashing bullcaca taken from the Faux Noise neocon playbook?

The solutions are presented by the filmmaker/director right here: (www.thewaronkids.com/student.pdf‎). They're a hell of a lot better than what you've just spewed.
