do I really have to say it???
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...
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.
Just another result of the global unruly.
surprise surprise surprise
"Stand And Deliver"...outstanding film.
The Oklahoma City Public Schools hired a superintendent from the Pacific NW, near Seattle. One of his first acts was to implement the same basic policy as written up here because the feds were on the district’s case about how imbalanced the numbers were on who was getting put on suspension. A recent survey by the district of their teachers revealed that this is the most hated policy and that it is affecting their ability to control the classroom for those that really want to learn. The teachers are getting little administrative support for discipline because they are all worried about their numbers.
People; take a clue.
It’s called ADA (average daily attendance), if the kids ass ain’t in the chair, the District doesn’t get the MONEY.
Always follow the money, or lack there of.
In other news, Water is Wet!
They refuse to admit the evidence that certain kids disrupt the classroom and should be in a cell. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The teachers will now be suspended for making such awful microaggressive statements.
There you go; just insert money and bureaucrats & the frustration will all go away.
