Newly "Remodeled" apartments means they got rid of the old hood that actually vented outside; put down new paint; and laid down linoleum everywhere there was carpet before.
At least, that's what it meant for the apartments I moved into last year.

You're right! Tons of students are on behavior plans, and they're often used the wrong way because it works to admins advantage to keep things like suspensions, referrals, detentions, or anything else that's tracked by the state out of official recording systems here, so I don't really think that leaders and policy makers have a full picture of the issue, and I think that once the media does some digging, they'll start talking about the countless teachers that have tried to get help but have been ignored and left worried about their personal safety trying to do a job that has become impossible.

>Like he spent his entire campaign rallying against Harpers TPP agreement, and then immediately signed it after the election.
None of that is true though...
- He didn't campaign against TPP (here's a link to his position on TPP in the 2015 election)
- He signed it 2.5 years after the election in 2018 (after significant changes were made)
>Or when he closed the finances for Treaty reserves
Like it or not, that's an example of him following through on an election campaign promise:
Justin Trudeau Vows To Scrap First Nations Financial Transparency Act - Aug 2014
>Justin Trudeau has promised to scrap a controversial law forcing First Nations leaders to disclose salaries and band financial statements online and replace it with something more "respectful" if he becomes prime minister in 2015.
>
>...
>
>"I wouldn't keep the legislation in place," Trudeau told the newspaper. "I would work with First Nations to make sure that a proper accountability act that would have disclosed any excesses we see, but is done in a way that is respectful of the First Nation communities."

You know why the great pyramids are in Egypt, right?
Because they wouldn’t fit in the British Museum

DPS is such a shitshow. For a city that has seen meteoric rises in tax revenue and an inflow of affluent out-of-state workers, the fact that their public school system continues to underperform is a blight on an otherwise very forward thinking city.
On a related note, I have a friend whose kid almost went to East said that nearly 800 kids citywide are on some sort of security plan similar to this child; he was not an outlier in that respect.

Why are the pyramids in Egypt? Because they were too big to transport to England.

Lines up with when the internet started to really take off too. It's a great thing but at the same time allows troubled people to reinforce their issues. Then add on the media constantly going on about it which makes copycats more likely.

I don't think the influence is as strong as you think it is...
The Canadian media giants partially funded by Trudeau's media payments did a great job of over-representing extreme fringes when they were covering COVID protests, and it shows in comments like yours.

Everything that I have seen says that Han was loyal first and foremost to the Liberals. Sadly, thats more the norm of politics than anything.

I think that the accusation is that he put the Liberal Party’s interests ahead of the interests of the two Michaels.

I get that's what people would have wanted. But many of these kids are not born this way. I would rather have them be able to get help. Why does this keep happening? Is it the parents not "parenting". Is it that the kid needs psychiatric help. Did something happen to the kid when he/she was younger, etc etc etc. Yes, there are those, where you could have the best childhood & still go out and murder. But JFC kids should not have those thoughts. They also should not have to go through depression or be bullied. This world is doing something seriously wrong, that this keeps happening, yet were not changing for the better. It's not only the weapons. Why are we so unable to stop this before it even gets that far???

No child left behind was so poorly implemented and funded that the US ditched it, and rightfully so.
I went to school during that. It was a disaster.
The schools didn't get proper funding or backing to pull it off properly.

If you wanted to be more clear then you should have had empathy in your original comment. But you didn't. So fuck off with your backtracking bullshit and maybe start writing clearly instead of unsympathetic hot takes that get you up votes.

If the last decision in life you make is to shoot two of the people who were actually trying to give you a chance at life, risking their own lives so he could stay on a regular school and didn’t have to get bussed in to a juvenile prison “classroom”
- then I really don’t think he was going to magically become a decent human being after graduating.

The fuck is he doing on house arrest? Does Italy not revoke bail?
