Conversely, a well motivated student will succeed anywhere. Concerning safety, when I was a student we had your usual fights, but nothing that was out of the ordinary for any large school.

Rather than create a sanctuary where students felt safe and were encouraged to discover themselves, administration (many of whom were well-meaning and did try to make a difference) used the external conditions I alluded to above as a cop out. Thus, the circle of helplessness and ineffectuality continues. Clearly, this represents an abnegation of responsibility on the part of the school's and the district's leadership. Parents rightly should expect more. Read less
