LOS ANGELES (AP) — Teachers in the nation's second largest school district say a new policy aimed at reducing suspensions is also having another effect: More unruly students in their classrooms.
Los Angeles Unified School District was the first to ban suspending students for defiance in California and began instituting restorative justice policies that emphasize counseling and conflict resolution.

Who woulda thunk that not suspending students for bad behavior would lead to this?
Mind blowing!
Unheard of!
No, just another in a long line of failed liberal policies.
Don’t be ridiculous. Unruly students cause suspension bans, not the other way around.
The district doesn’t get Federal matching funds if the kid’s not in the seat.
So, who cares about discipline when there’s money to be had.
Besides, if the good students actually learned something, they’d just get productive jobs and increase the wealth distribution gap...
do I really have to say it???
Get a Blood and Crip in a room together and ask them how they handle “conflict resolutions”.
The world is being run by idiots.
It is amazing that leftists can even manage to dress themselves in the morning.
Shocking, keep the disrupters in the classroom and the classroom becomes more disruptive.
The left always denies human nature.
The teachers never thought that supporting liberal RATs would come back to bite THEM one day...
Yep, that’s basically it.
One thing about the people living in this country these days. They are scared to death of “the children.” America is starting to look like “The Village of the Damned.”
Suspensions are a double-edged sword.
As a teacher, you want kids in class so you can teach them. I taught high school math, and a suspension of even one week can have dire results. I generally inherited students who were weak on basics and behind grade level. I worked them hard to recover lost ground. Miss a week, and you're in trouble, no matter how much I tried to work with you outside of class. There are only so many hours in a day.
On the other hand, principals have to maintain order in their schools. I wouldn't want to teach in a school that resembled the wild west.
My principal understood this, and he tried his best to limit suspensions for "nickle/dime" offenses, and he sought alternative punishments (like Saturday School) when he could.
I always figured I could recover lost ground with a student who was out a week. Two weeks... it was over. The student would probably fail. I was a fair teacher, and I just didn't "move 'em along."
“A shocking and unexpected development in LA-LA Land.”
For people that grew up and believed that “Non-Violent Conflict Resolution” could solve all the world’s problems, yes this is both SHOCKING and UNEXPECTED.
That’s why we need Trump.
However, Federal money always makes things worse.
We have to remember that 90% of leftists come from the left side of the Bell Curve..meaning <100 IQ score. The leftist leaders have higher IQs, but the followers’ IQs are <100. Leftist leaders should be some proud!
Just another result of the global unruly.
What happened to in-school suspension? Disruptive students were sent to a classroom where they did their assignments under the supervision of a large, stern, male teacher. Has that been declared unconstitutional?
The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans think their constituents are SMART, but Democrats KNOW their constituents are DUMB!
Compared to that, giving a student a worksheet they don't understand how to do is a poor substitute.
The problem with out of school suspensions is that for kids who have no parents at home, it becomes a free-for-all for them. A couple of years ago, some kids from a high school in my district spent their day of suspension burglarizing houses and also attacking and robbing a woman of her cellphones. They were eventually caught on the grounds of their school trying to get in the building, but it had been put on lockdown.
