Here’s what happens when a school is located near a cannabis dispensary. Really!

Why would anyone in their right mind allow a cannabis dispensary to operate near a school?

I don't think e.g. liquor or gun shops are allowed near schools.

This article provides no actual examples except for a vague "Oregon in 2015" without any further details! Pretty bad! 

So what is this article actually about? The article is written by a professor and a statistician.

Ohio's Republican governor will sign a bill allowing school employees to carry guns

Good news! 

In my opinion it should perhaps not be made mandatory for teachers and school staff to carry guns while at work. But armed volunteers working at schools should be welcomed! And how about armed guards at schools?

Why do coward killers seek out schools? Easy targets, maximum carnage, lots of unarmed young victims.

What kind of insanity was that! Was that a subterfuge to prevent armed school employees?
"... The Statehouse News Bureau, a regional Ohio-based media outlet, reported that the new legislation reduces the amount of training for school personnel to 24 hours from 700. ..."

How much is school districting in the U.S. to blame for low quality school education of children

Something to ponder about! 

Alternatives to conventional public school education like home schooling or the Internet are available and legitimate in the U.S.!

Time to privatize children education!

"Public education nationwide is not as free or equal as many would like to believe it is.
Most K–12 school children are assigned to their public school through geographic school districts. Educational opportunities are largely determined by where parents can afford to live. Congress acknowledged this in a 2019 Joint Economic Committee report stating, "Families are faced with the reality that attending a high-performing public school often requires paying more for housing, and many students' educational opportunities are limited as a result." ..."

High-Quality ‘Public’ Schools Don’t Want Low-Income Students School enrollment based solely on geography must come to an end.
