n this episode, we delve into the challenges faced by Maryland concerning rising juvenile crime rates and the systemic issues that may be enabling them. With discussions around the role of parents, guardians, and the state, we explore how society can create a safer environment for both children and the community at large. Also, we weigh the pros and cons of a year-round educational model and its effects on students and families, considering whether maintaining a continuous learning environment could help curtail juvenile delinquency and reduce summer learning loss.
