On The Need For Public Boarding Schools, Bret D. Asbury, Kevin Woodson
Georgia Law Review
Nowhere is the inadequacy of American public
education more striking than in high-poverty, urban
schools populated by disadvantaged minority students.
Despite decades of legal, policy, and scholarly efforts
aimed at addressing the challenges facing these schools,
the academic prospects of poor students are currently as
grim as they have been in recent memory. Reformers
seeking to address this problem have largely focused on
transforming public education from within by focusing on
school conditions or teacher performance. These efforts
have largely failed to bring about real progress: despite
decades of litigation and reform, our nation's most
disadvantaged children continue to lack …

The Kids Are Not All Right: Mandating Peer Mediation As A Proactive Anti-Bullying Measure In Schools,

The Kids Are Not All Right: Mandating Peer Mediation As A Proactive Anti-Bullying Measure In Schools, Jon M. Philipson
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Part I of this Article briefly details the current state of the bullying epidemic in America and the responding programs, other than peer mediation, which collectively have failed to empower students or failed to resolve underlying interpersonal conflicts. Part II explains peer mediation, addressing its processes, its effectiveness, and its weaknesses. Exploring further the criticism of peer mediation as inconsistent with relationships defined by dominance, Part III explores, in relation to mediation, the parallels between the culture of bullying and the culture of domestic violence. Concluding that peer mediation is not a panacea for resolving bullying, Part IV discusses the …

Catholic Schools, Charter Schools, And Urban Neighborhoods, Nicole Stelle Garnett
Journal Articles
This Article addresses previously unstudied implications of two dramatic shifts in the American educational landscape. The first shift is the rapid disappearance of urban Catholic schools. More than 1,600 Catholic elementary and secondary schools, most of them located in urban neighborhoods, have closed during the last two decades. The Archdiocese of Chicago alone (the subject of our study) has closed 148 schools since 1984. Since the economic and demographic realities underlying urban Catholic school closures persist, this trend likely will continue and even accelerate in coming years. The second shift is the rise of charter schools. In 2010 more than …

Catholic Schools And Broken Windows, Nicole Stelle Garnett
Journal Articles
Our previous work has suggested that the closure of Catholic elementary schools generates disorder and suppresses social cohesion in urban neighborhoods-findings that support the conclusion that Catholic elementary schools create neighborhood social capital. We extend our inquiry here by asking if Catholic school closures might also affect crime rates. Using factors independent from neighborhood indicators, specifically school and parish leadership characteristics, we created an exogenous factor that predicted which Catholic schools might close in urban Chicago, and used that factor, with sociodemographic variables, to predict police-beat-level crime rates. We find that Catholic school closures slow the rate of decline of …

Minnie Liddell's Forty-Year Quest For Quality Public Education Remains A Dream Deferred, Kimberly Jade Norwood
Scholarship@WashULaw
This Article is a historic account of the hopes and dreams that a mother had for her children and her efforts to make those hopes and dreams come true. The mother, Minnie Liddell, never imagined, when she first became a mom in 1959, or years later after the birth of her fifth child, or even after she filed a lawsuit against a city school district, that she would become a pioneer and icon in the school desegregation history of St. Louis, Missouri. She really only wanted a quality public education for her children, for black children, for all children. This …

Articles
To read the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is to be impressed with the ambition and promise of special education. The statute guarantees disabled students a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE) in the "least restrictive environment." At the core of this guarantee lies an entitlement for the parents of a disabled child to collaborate with teachers and school administrators to craft an educational program that is both tailored to the child's unique needs and designed to help her make progress in her education. This entitlement, and the IDEA generally, represents an enormous advance for children with disabilities--a community that, …

Undo Undue Hardship: An Objective Approach To Discharging Federal Students Loans In Bankruptcy,

Undo Undue Hardship: An Objective Approach To Discharging Federal Students Loans In Bankruptcy, Aaron N. Taylor
All Faculty Scholarship
A debtor seeking to discharge student loans in bankruptcy must prove that paying the debt would cause an undue hardship upon him and his dependents. Undue hardship, however, is an undefined concept, flummoxing debtors, creditors and judges alike. The result of this ambiguity is rampant inconsistency in the manners in which similarly-situated debtors (and creditors) are treated by the courts. This article argues that the undue hardship standard should be replaced by a framework that uses debt service thresholds to determine the propriety of federal student loan bankruptcy discharges. Eligibility for discharge would depend on outstanding loan amounts, debtor income …
