I think the opposite is true- this kid is white and he is not getting expelled.

LOL, Maybe it’s just based on real-world high school?

I was a teacher during the '70's='80's. I still have nightmares about the "Kung Fu" period.

Does he have an IEP? If he does, he's going nowhere.

The principal is on extended medical leave. I think that also plays into the response, or lack of, here.

Another teacher there was out for weeks with a concussion after being punched by a kid. Lots of teachers have bruises and bite marks on a regular day. When I started teaching, this would never have been tolerated. Principals are supposed to call law enforcement, and teachers need to press charges.

Now that we can’t stop kids from leaving a room or the building, it is even worse. Kids run all over the place. Since FCPS won’t put kids with mental health issues in day private schools that have restraint or seclusion, they stay in our schools, because there aren’t other places to go. We used to send a lot of kids to Phillips, but not allowed anymore. There aren’t enough options for really troubled, aggressive kids.

I will never understand the FCPS legal agreement about restraint and seclusion. They removed so many options.

It's a tough time for teachers.

Many are leaving

The kids who are getting in these fights and assaulting staff are almost always Tier 2 or Tier 3 in MTSS or whatever they're calling it nowadays and have pages of discipline referrals. If anything the referrals are under counted and underreported in the majority of these cases because teachers are fatigued by the endless cycle of reporting, being chastised for reporting, finally getting a meeting about the student, and then being told to start a sticker chart and collect 6 weeks worth of data before there's even a chance the base school will hold another meeting to consider discussing another placement which the parents are likely to reject anyway. Meanwhile the kid is tearing up the room, screaming throughout class, and attempting to start fights every day. It gets really bad by middle school because hormones are raging and everyone has a phone and can record and air drop anything that happens within seconds of it happening. A lot gets covered up in elementary school because fewer kids have phones and administrators are able to downplay the severity of some of the cases.
A lot gets blamed on Covid but teachers and school staff nationwide have been sounding alarm bells about lack of discipline since before the pandemic. FCPS in particular started slipping about ten years ago and probably held out relatively longer than a lot of other school systems because we did have really good ED Centers and base schools weren't afraid to send students to them if they weren't available for learning in a regular classroom.

YUP! And it starts in kindergarten.

Sometimes the police sides with the school adm and the witnesses pretend they saw nothing. It’s a disturbing truth.

I am not sure what his medical leave is but he has been noticeably a weak leader this year. Between the sexual assault communications, the ongoing construction mess, other issues, etc…. Parents are not hearing back from him and this is so different from last year.

And the schools do everything in their power to not give a kid an IEP or make them ineligible for services. Grade inflation is the easiest way to do this.
