I have heard many objections, here are a few:

  1. Community interaction is difficult to administer and could
     cause convicts that the school would become involved in.

  2. Schools need to prepare students for jobs and
     we are not producing enough students with scientific
     skills.

  3. The safety of the students and liability for their actions
     is difficult to determine beforehand.
