Prakash, Gregory Conko Cornered Rats Fight Hard By Grover Norquist Saving Lives in Boarding Schools? F or most of the last century, children who have been removed from their families have been placed in foster care. Today, there are about 600,000 such children, and the system is beset by problemsa shortage of competent staff, children who spend much of their youth bouncing around from one family to another, and poor outcomes (high rate of teen pregnancy, for instance). And the system is overburdened. Caseloads have doubled over the last 20 years (largely as a result of the crack epidemic), while the number of foster families has declined. Faced with these challenges, some reformers propose making greater use of boarding schools. Such institutions exist across the nationlike Boys Town in Nebraska, Philadelphia's Girard College, and the Piney Woods School in Mississippiand many have good track records in preparing disadvantaged children for college and future careers. But the social services people want no part of that, as Newt Gingrich discovered in 1994 when he spoke out on the subject. Society's sole objective should be to unite children with their families, they argue. The problem with this position can be summarized in two words: Brianna Blackwood. Brianna was the two-year-old who was taken from a loving foster family and returned to her mentally retarded mother in the District of Columbia three years ago. Two weeks later, Brianna was dead. Her case is hardly unique. Many biological parents are unfit to look after their children either because of drug use, mental illness, family instability, or similar problems.

Hsu Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, July 20, 2005; Page B08 Tucked into the 11-page bill President Bush sent Congress last week transferring roughly 200 acres of federal land to the District is a 10-word clause that is unusually specific. It says the city can take control of 15 acres of National Park Service land near Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium only if it puts a school on the property, "with first preference given to a pre-collegiate public boarding school." As it turns out, there is exactly one such institution in Washington: the SEED School, which has been working with Mayor Anthony A. Williams (D) for more than a year to find a site for a second campus.
