No, violent mentally ill kids first require a psychiatrist who can offer medical care. SCHOOLS. CAN. NOT. PROVIDE. MEDICAL. CARE. |

It really does appear to be so simple. I don't get why MCPS is incapable of following through on common sense. |
Your belief that this is a local problem is incorrect. Schools all over the country are currently hamstrung in the same ways by laws and incentives (and a lack of places to send these kids). |
Because when parents disagree with your plan, there's nothing the school can do about it. Sometimes it's the opposite, CO says you need to build a better relationship with the student and collect more data (because there aren't enough funds to send the child to a special program, or there isn't a program for the child, and the parents are desperate for a change!) |

Where do you want violent kids sent? |
I was referring to alternative schools, with lower class sizes and specially trained staff. By law all students must be educated. |
Check your comprehension. No one said the school violence is a local problem. No one is “hamstrung” either, so you can stop lying. Public school administrators simply REFUSE to REMOVE violent kids. VIOLENT kids need MEDICAL CARE for their MENTAL ILLNESS. |
News Flash: By law, sick kids are entitled to medical care. |
Just like in other areas of American politics, as long as people want to keep their jobs, nothing will change.
There have to be board members willing to be voted out. There have to be Superintendents willing to be fired for taking stands. There is a powerful financial incentive for individuals to not rock the boat too much. That is the problem. |
Please just shut up. You are such a liar. We, the taxpayers choose board members. If voters want SCHOOL VIOLENCE, they should keep voting the way they have always voted. |
It seems that the Consulting Teachers- the ones who should be supporting teachers- work with admin to frame the teachers as the problem as oppose to the violent and dangerous kids. This contributes to the teacher shortage as parents, admin, consulting teachers, union and resource teachers all need to blame the new unprotected teachers as the reason for the violence problems as no one who actually contributed to these problems is allowed to take any responsibility. New education grads are needed to take the fall for these overpaid scumbags. |
Why aren’t teachers allowed to implement consequences to kids flinging chairs? |
Detention Suspension Parent meetings Aren't these consequences? |
