METCO students getting mugged as they get off the bus - in Boston

Chanie Infante Louisma reports (Facebook login required):

A Brookline Metco parent called this morning to report recent crimes
against METCO students. Another Brookline Metco parent, who happens to be a Boston police officer, reported that Metco students have been targeted by Boston Public School students.

Boston students are jumping Metco students after they get off their bus and stealing electronics (i.e. Cell phones, digital cameras, etc).

A police officer's kid is a METCO student. What a shock. Next you're going to tell me that Boston's teachers are sending their kids to suburban schools on the METCO buses. I don't blame them. The kids doing the robberies are probably the ones in their classrooms minutes earlier. Stop this insane program and fix Boston's schools! Step one, expel troublemakers. Don't go any further if you don't do this. Step two, place Boston's children who have real parents in Boston's schools to be examples to the ones who don't. Wouldn't that also address poor MCAS scores in Boston's schools? I think a police officer or teacher is going to make sure that homework gets done.

Look at the location of of the schools being considered for closure. How can kids in these schools learn anything if their life is in danger in the classrooms or gym as it was last week and right outside the front doors. The underlying issue with Boston's schools is CRIME.
