hi,
i spent ( nor continously, just off and on ) over 20 years reading
about educational reform. When i stumbled across a special in depth Economist article about the state of American education, i was skeptical
they could teach me anything. Boy, was i wrong. It was the best thing i had ever seen on the subject. Currently my subscription has lapsed, because the cost is enormous, but you are really missing something if you never read it. i still get the odd one at my friendly local evil empire (Borders).
FWIW, it's usually Republicans that axe things like treatment centers, because they favor shelling out $40-50k a year to jail a person with emotional problems that get expressed as drug usage( but i have come to think of Republicans as somewhat 'challenged' in their understanding of economics ) The 100 -200 grand that arrest/trial/incarceration costs would
easily cover therapy, medical care and education. But that would require something Republican pols have surgically removed.
12 step programs prob work because they create a community of shared interests. This community ( dare i say 'village'? ;) brings personal involvement. And that is almost certainly what makes the difference.
