"The parents of
the children who commit violent crimes would have to serve some of the time that
their child has earned."

"For non-college
bound students, job skills should be offered. Many tasks around the school could
be given to students [so they could] earn both credit and job experience. A
student, along with other secretarial tasks, could type morning announcements. A
teacher's-aide class could be offered and students could work at local
businesses during study halls. These few ideas could be used at any school and
could offer students a start in their future."
