We are appalled by The Post’s glib suggestion that children in our public schools deserve to be water-boarded (“Rx for Classroom Chaos,” Editorial, Feb. 7). Calling children “apprentice miscreants” and suggesting that removing them from schools is the most logical action is misguided and dangerous. Yes, we must hold our children accountable. We must also model fairness and accountability for them through our own actions.
