Our favorite duo is back and they are seeking answers as to why school discipline is up. The two people who haven’t spent any time in a classroom, don’t listen to teachers, or parents are now throwing a fit about it.

1. Asking for more information is not "throwing a fit."
2. Mink is a former MCPS teacher. |

“ As you know, we were deeply concerned to learn of new disciplinary data”. They’re clearly upset. Looks like MCPS is actually starting to discipline kids, and the SJWs are upset. |

Mink and Jawando are actually doing their jobs and asking MCPS to expect and justify their disciplinary data. That’s a good thing.
Also, do not believe in any way shape or form that “discipline” is back. Trust that MCPS is still as broken and dysfunctional as it’s been in recent years. It’s just worse in some schools than others. |

Seems like you're the one throwing a fit. |

What is actually wrong with you, OP? Like what is your major dysfunction? Were you born stupid? Dropped on your head as a baby? Raised wrong? What explains your clear character flaw? |

| My kid's friend said that he went to the counselor to talk about a problem he had with a kid and he got a suspension for it, so now he doesn't talk to anyone at school when he has a problem. |

I hope this l inquiry” is not performative. CO will warn principals if they have too many suspensions. It’s a numbers game to them. Will they actually look at the root of the issues? I suspect not. Not everything can be resolved with their idiotic way of doing restorative justice (which DOES NOT work the MCPS way).
Mink and the other blowhard can blow chunks. They dont know what’s really going on in the schools today. Or how it’s wildly mismanaged and unsafe in many classrooms. Or do we have to remind them of the special needs child that just had his head bashed in during class? Good riddance to their performative BS imo. |

| We need actual classes for kids who need more support. Not everyone needs to be integrated. I've seen these kids in ES who are allowed to wander around and be extremely disruptive. Least restrictive does not work for everyone. We had a kid throwing chairs in ES for 2 years. That kids needs so much more and by MS and HS it would be a serious problem. |

| They should oust these douchebags like they do so many teacher. Give some hard working teachers your kushy job for a year and then let the douches be teachers for a year and then see who quits or gets fired. Subbing teachers in for kush dbag jobs is a good way to relieve teachers of crippling stress. |

+1 And they shouldn't become the problem of normal teachers (vs trained to deal with them and violence) and good kids. The teachers and the parents of the kids affected who just want to learn need to band together. Their voices are stronger than the one obnoxious lawyered up parent who is not getting the kid the help they need. Problem is, it's all hush-hush so parents and teachers don't know about or can't share about the problem. Convenient. |

I seriously doubt the kids with diagnoses and behavioral plans are the kids getting suspended. |

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. It’s incredibly difficult to get a special placement. There aren’t enough seats in special programs, there isn’t enough money, there isn’t sufficient staffing, the law requires the least restrictive environment. It takes a long time, many procedural steps, tons of documentation, expensive testing, and some luck to get a special placement. Things are hush-hush because all students are afforded the right to keep their educational records private by the law. |

| ^^ this. And that's IF the parents agree with the diagnosis or want a placement. So many parents in denial, don't want a label on their child, or just don't belive their little angel is the school hellion |

Not quite. If you look at suspension data, many of the kids who get suspended are in fact special needs. The most disciplined students in MCPS are Black, male and special needs. There's clearly a correlation with suspension data and being special needs, which suggests the way MCPS is supposedly supporting or not supporting special needs students is not working. |
