A Senate subcommittee report to Sen. Thomas J. Dodd finds violence rising in large city schools with enseñanza focus eroded by order issues. It cites dropouts returning to schools as a chief violence source, noting a 25 fold rise in dropout related incidents from 142 to 3,894 across 110 districts. The study warns many districts neglect discipline and suggests federal funds for special schools for troubled youths as a possible outcome of hearings.
