Maybe it is worth it to try to make sure fewer kids with the issue slip through the cracks at the expense of diagnosing kids who don't actually have it. Maybe it's not, but it makes sense why it can happen.

That said, parents without much of an education themselves may tend to set the bar too low for their children, but that often appears to be an issue in the public school as well.

Doesn't that mean people are choosing the best employer that wants their skill set?

That is what I was saying. There is the perceived return on investment of using the services designed to help get one out of homelessness, and it is being weighed against the perceived return of going back to the street. If you can bring in several hundred dollars a day on the streets that you can spend on alcohol, the effort of being in a place that is trying to help you change your situation might be hard to justify.

But a big piece of the equation is how easy it is to just get cash from well-meaning people on the street.

I'm not disagreeing with you about needing help with addictions, but there are two sides to the equation.

I helped get a homeless person into a place that provided him with an apartment, food, and work that he could do, with a path to helping him become independent. He quickly left because on the street he had a better system for getting money that he could spend on drugs. It sounded like there was a large percentage of people the charity tried to help that ended up taking that path. There were some who were able to get back on their feet. The charity basically felt it was worth giving everyone a chance in order to reach the ones that were actually trying to get out of homelessness. However, as far as providing free housing is concerned, that is what this place did.

Unfortunately (at least for this person), the well-meaning people who were always willing to give him money on the street meant what the charity was offering wasn't of interest to him.

(And I don't mean to be critical of your position, just pointing out that it might not be neutral in the long term.)

Even faster than Clojure: Open VIM for a VS Code user and ask them to exit.

I've had the pleasure of listening in on some discussions from high-school students that study classics meeting each other for the first time. Their discussions tend to be very different from what you'd hear from a typical high-school student. While other students might share the language, the ones who have read the same 50 or so great books tend to have a shared vocabulary of ideas at their disposal that doesn't seem to be there without the shared books.

An approach like this seems to give more weight to the fact that just figuring out a way to document exactly what needs to be done is often the hardest part and if you get that right before you start writing automation code, it might make make the automation much more efficient.
