BEEEEEEEEEEEEP your repeated violation of the verbal morality statute has caused me to notify the Schenectady police department, please remain where you are.

AGE has nothing to do with innovation.....humans might be alike but it's not because of age that the social cast should be set....shame shame shame on using 'age discrimination' to set standards...I work in a nursing home and take care of a RANGE of ages, not just OLD PEOPLE....70years to 100years is the scope....THAT'S PRETTY FREAKIN' BIG....
KIDS INSTITUTIONALIZED FROM 4YEARS-18YEARS OLD FOLKS INSTITUTIONALIZED FROM 70YEARS-100YEARS
where the fu(k are we going with this mentality? anyone? anyone?
freedom exists from 18years-70years approx? that's if you live outside the cast/fiat system, and now with national healthcare it promotes kids on parents apron strings until they are 25years....WTF have we done? soilent green is coming next.....
so really about 50human years(not dog years) to make bricks with the amount of straw 'credited' to you.......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Have to agree with Senders...we are turning our school system into some sort of mandated imprisonment.
Lincoln Elementary has been granted money for some sort of psychiatric home-type setting and now the district wants to keep the kids in-house until the age of 18.
How much of state funds will help this endeavor....probably millions.
"The Wall" has begun to be built around the entire Schenectady school district. Keep them trapped, drugged and failing.
Where is the district coming up with the money to handle the extra students?

A.D.H.D. Study Suggests Links Between Medication and Fewer Crimes By PAM BELLUCK Published: November 21, 2012
A large study suggests that people with serious attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are less likely to commit crimes when taking medication. Related
Well: Younger Students More Likely to Get A.D.H.D. Drugs (November 20, 2012) Health Guide: ADHD The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, examined records of 25,000 people in Sweden to see if those with A.D.H.D. had fewer criminal convictions when taking medication than when they were not.
Of 8,000 people whose medication use fluctuated over a three-year period, men were 32 percent less likely and women were 41 percent less likely to have criminal convictions while on medication. Patients were primarily young adults, many with a history of hospitalization. Crimes included assault, drug offenses and homicide as well as less serious crimes. Medication varied, but many took stimulants like Ritalin.
“The study adds a lot,” said Dr. Gabrielle Carlson, director of child and adolescent psychiatry at Stony Brook University medical school, who was not involved in the study. “Cutting the crime rate, that’s not trivial. Maybe it will get some help for people in jail. It gives people who were on the fence maybe a little more confidence in this treatment.”
Studies suggest that people with A.D.H.D. are more likely to commit crimes. And while people, especially boys, are often prescribed medication as children, they often resist taking it as teenagers. Studies have not shown that medication has long-term effects on symptoms.
Dr. Paul Lichtenstein, a study author and a professor at Karolinska Institute, cautioned against concluding that everyone with A.D.H.D. should be continuously medicated.
“There are pros and cons to medication,” he said. But “in young adults, the age where criminality is most common, you should consider medication because it is more harmful for these people to be involved in criminal activities. Also for prisoners and people who have left prison.”
Researchers said that correlations between medication and decreased crime held regardless of the type of medication or crime and the presence of other disorders. They tried to determine if patients stopped treatment because of criminal convictions, but found that treatment itself appeared linked to fewer crimes.
Among psychiatric experts, when, and sometimes whether, to prescribe A.D.H.D. medication is still debated. Drugs do not work for everyone, and side effects can include jittery feelings and suppressed appetite and growth.
William Pelham, director of the Center for Children and Families at Florida International University, said nondrug therapies like behavioral modification worked as well as medication in the short run. He said that the study did not prove that medication caused less criminality, and because most subjects were seriously ill adults, the results were irrelevant for most American children.
Jason Fletcher, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health, said that despite some weaknesses, the study provided a “very suggestive piece of evidence” supporting medication. “Because crime is so expensive, if you can reduce it, even by half of what they’re saying, you might still say this is really effective medication.”
He did wonder if medication is reducing crime or “making better criminals,” who avoid arrest. Dr. Lichtenstein deemed that unlikely. “I don’t think you would commit the crime,” he said, “and then just not get caught.”

I don't know where the money is supposed to come from, but it may be federal because Obama has been talking about universal pre-k (taxpayer funded daycare) and this Core Curriculum stuff is a move toward federal control over school age children. In any case, it's our money, but at least it probablywon't raise local school taxes. That hospital/school that Spring has planned, it probably will get us free government money, for a period of time. I think they want the kids in school early because there are so many women struggling to get off welfare and they can't afford to pay babysitters on what they make at Walmart, so it's a sneaky way for all of us to pay so employers don't have to offer a living wage. This will only get worse when that deceptively named immigration reform legislation gets passed. so the politicians are realizing that something has to be done.
"Dr. Lichtenstein deemed that unlikely. 'I don’t think you would commit the crime,” he said, “and then just not get caught.' "
Apparently, Dr. Lichenstein has never been to Schenectady. Our criminality starts at the top (Metroplex, the Council & Counties handshake/backroom deals) and has had a trickle-down effect all the way to the school district.
When is Kosier going to request the County build a $50 million dollar "High School Home" situated next to the new nursing home? It's coming I'm sure.
Nobody should pay any attention to any study that comes out of Sweden. They are reaping the rewards of their bizarre ultra-liberal PC mindset. Swedenis burning.
I read a number of letters written to the Gazette on this school issue, and the writers tend to agree with the posters here. One man brought out a point that none of us noticed. He said he thinks that the dropout numbers aren't accurate in that they probably include kids who've left school for other reasons. I never thought of that, but I think he's right. We have a high percentage of kids originally from downstate, and I know that the NYC system has a terrible time keeping track of students because they move all the time. Some of these kids are very likely moving back and forth between here and the Bronx because we know the parents do that. Also kids in high school who get arrested didn't drop out if they went to jail. The school is awfully crowded,so we must be getting a lot of "drop-ins" as well.
