“The juvenile justice education programs that serve hundreds of thousands of students are characterized by low expectations, inadequate supports to address student needs, and ineffective instruction and technology. Students come out of the juvenile justice system in worse shape than when they entered, struggling to return to school or get their lives back on track.”
-Southern Education Foundation Vice President Steve Suitts, author of a recent report that found that students in the juvenile justice system receive substandard educations (source: http://bit.ly/1h8Pfk4).
