Maybe find something more effective than public schools at turning them around. Their track record certainly indicates a different approach is needed.

Just because the kids happen to be in government run schools, that doesn't mean that an effective intervention into their lives can be performed there.

Schools should be about education, not solving all of society's ills. It is intolerable that one child who disrupts the education environment should be able to prevent so many others from learning. Take the child out of the situation so the others can learn and then figure out what's going on.
