No doubt, the occupants at central office sent their own children to private schools.

Wonder where Taylor's kids go.

He's never mentioned anything about his kids being MCPS students despite him mentioning his role a father of four many times.

Because his kids go to private schools.

Putting Blair G. Ewing at 3 separate sites was intended to distribute the behaviors. The program urgently needs an audit.

As usual, BOE and executive leadership is asleep at the wheel. 😴

^Their only expertise is wasting taxpayer millions of cash, while lining their own pockets.

I don’t think they changed schools from when he was in VA. McKnight kept her kid in PG county schools- they amended the rule for her so now it’s permissible for all future superintendents.

That makes sense, I figured that. Makes you wonder why his leadership isn't good enough for his kids.

His contract says he has to live in the county but his wife/kids could have stayed back and he get a house/apartment for during the week.

And they could be together here, private schools nonetheless.

Treatment for violent kids is in the medical system, not the school system.

The pp didn't say treatment. The issue is placement and support, which is MCPS's responsibility.

Even better, maybe special education teachers can return to helping with learning disabilities rather than running from crisis to crisis.

This doesn't make any sense. If a child would need a paraeducator in the home school model, they'd need a paraeducator in a self-contained program.

What exactly do you believe is the most effective solution to repeated classroom attacks on teachers and students?

Why exactly do you believe there's a single answer for every student and situation?

There is no single solution for all kids and situations. Needs will differ.

Step One:
You remove the perpetrator from the classroom.
Step Two:
The mentally ill perpetrator of the classroom violence goes to get psychiatric evaluation and appropriate medical treatment.
Step Three:
When safety able to do so, the mentally ill student returns to school.

Result:
1. Mo more classroom violence.
2. School children can learn.

They need to bring back or create more programs for these kids. Expand rica and bring back a program for violent kids or only offer them virtual except they took that away. Mentally ill and violent go hand in hand but the kids with mental illness need help not punishment. Kids who are violent need to be locked up or in special programs.
