Teachers strike, SF schools closed

Just because a child is violent in the classroom does not mean they lose their right to an education with their peers.

Teachers need to stop complaining and do their jobs.

Their violent peers or nonviolent peers?

The problem is that the horrible behavior that teachers deal with in mainstream classrooms nowadays is a byproduct of several policy choices that have been made over the past couple decades which it would be politically untenable to undo.

I think we need to start over with public schools. Test scores are bad, unruly classrooms, no books or textbooks, too reliant on screens. parents teachers students all unhappy.

It seemed virtual school was here to stay or a hybrid version would be created during and after the pandemic. But it was too inconvenient/difficult for anyone to envision during the pandemic when everyone was juggling with home-family-health-work-child/elder care-kids'learning.

It is the school administrators and school boards who insist on keeping violent students in regular classes alongside your child, every day.

The administrators insist that violent kids “could suffer learning loss if suspended.”

And your children pay the price.

That’s like saying just because someone likes to rob banks doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get to make regular visits to the financial institution of their choice with their neighbors. These tellers need to stop complaining about the holdups and do their jobs!

They don't lose their right to an education but they absolutely do not have a right to have an education with peers in a general education classroom. No law says that. The law says to the children with disabilities should be educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate. ) Special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment occurs only if the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.

Administrators need to enforce this law. Students who are repeatedly violent should not be in general education.

It really is tragic that teachers and nurses, professions dominated by females, are regularly attacked at work and are told not only to tolerate it, but that it is somehow their fault because they should have done something differently or anticipated being attacked.

I 100% support the teachers. Teachers need better pay and better working conditions.

Former S.F. resident here. All politics aside, SF Board of Education has been and continues to be an absolute dumpster fire.

Those “policy choices” have a specific name: equity (along with division and in this case, inclusion).
