Is this another example where the state with the 2nd largest population has more than the state with the largest population?
Is it really that relevant?
"The Washington Post has an article on school systems with their own police forces. It focuses on Texas, which has the highest number of 'School Police Departments,' of which there are so many they have their own trade association. Highlights: 1) Houston fourth-grader stood on a stool so he could see the judge. He pleaded guilty. To a scuffle on a school bus. 2) 275,000 juvenile tickets in fiscal 2009, to students as young as 5. 3) Austin middle school student ticketed after she sprayed herself with perfume when classmates said she smelled. 4) a 17-year-old was in court after he and his girlfriend poured milk on each other. 'She was mad at me because I broke up with her,' he said. I waiting for the Alamo Heights Special Airborne Brigade and SEAL TEAM CROCKETT."

Did you read the article? What are your thoughts on the subject of criminalization of student discipline?
BTW, while the article focuses on Texas, it hardly singles it out.
I think the school systems have been going overboard in many ways. I don't like it. But an article that tries to sell a point by having to say "which has the highest number of 'School Police Departments," in the second largest state, just doesn't appeal to me.
The linked article doesn't mention that, IIRC.
lol @ only reading what drives your confirmation bias
LOL...
No, I didn't read the article. It was your words that I though you were quoting from it!
I wasn't going to waste my time with it, partially for the reason I stated.
Another example of the highest number being in the 2nd most populous state rather than the first.
So ing what...
That's patently obvious.
I didn't write those cliff notes either.
You're missing the point of the article you didn't read.
the kid has got a sense of humor."...waiting for the Alamo Heights Special Airborne Brigade and SEAL TEAM CROCKETT."
So ing what?
Try this: If you cant be bothered to read the article, then shut the up.
Simple, really.
What they're doing with the JP's in some places is official oppression. ing bull .
Criminalizing students is part of the unstoppable police state that UCA is becoming.
Everybody's a suspect, is guilty, they just haven't caught you, yet.
You mean because I didn't read the article, I cannot reply to what was still written in the post?
I responded to the words in the post idiot, not the article.
I responded to this:
If you can't keep up, then you should shut the up.It focuses on Texas, which has the highest number of 'School Police Departments,' of which there are so many they have their own trade association.
Texas schools are clearly getting too much money if they can afford their own police forces.
Why's that in blue. It's a serious statement!
maybe they're spending what little money they have on a police force when they should be spending it on teachers and equipment and stuff
Oh, it's somewhat tongue in cheek when the same ones that we aren't giving the schools enough money that they are spending excessively on security.
it's not contradictory to claim that schools need more money and that schools should spend what money they do get on education and not a police force.
It is when those of us that say they have enough money they just need to spend it better get skewered in here for "not carin about the chillin".
if "spending it better" means intelligent design textbooks, then you should get skewered.
meh...more like a high school doesn't need to cost 100 million dollars and an "athletic director" doesn't need to make a quarter million a year.
i'll agree with that
I don't know about other states, but in Oregon, teachers are paid quite well.
How much annual do they make for working 9-10 months a year?
The best way to make schools work again is to bring back corporal punishment.
There's more than enough money, and no amount of money can stop disruptive kids, and those who have no form of punishment when necessary.
how is that relevant to a discussion about whether TX schools pay too much on police forces? and spending more on teachers doesn't always mean paying teachers more. it could also mean staffing more teachers to reduce class size or adding new subjects or departments that will give students a well-rounded education.
If you were raised with that system in place, it clearly didn't work.
