Oakridge Teacher Breakdowns

[Anonymous]

Interesting that this is a thread about issues at a specific school, and yet it has been derailed with a discussion of systemwide (and perhaps nationwide) issues.

Well, district and nationwide trends are kind of relevant. But Dr. Wright seems to be a special piece of work.

That's because of a comment a while back that said she's just doing what everyone else in education is doing, then others said that's not true.

Again, where in MY comment did I reference all of APS?

I’d try to explain it further, but I forgot my crayons.

I don't know if it was you or another poster because as you may have noticed, the comments are all anonymous. Yes, it was literally said that APS has stopped disciplining. You can scroll back yourself and find it if you are interested in anything other than trolling.

Perhaps you shouldn’t assume you’re responding to one person, because as you said, it’s hard to tell.

Work on being less triggered please.

Perhaps we could return to the topic of this thread…

there is also the trend of overdiscipline of black and brown students and sped kids, and the data shows APS is doing this too. stop your denial of it.

There is harsher discipline towards black and brown kids. I'd like to see every student operating under much stricter discipline. Act badly? Disrespect a teacher? No sports or clubs for you. Hit or threaten a teacher after 2nd grade? Expelled and you lose your right to FAPE forever. Hit or threaten a teacher 2nd and younger? Suspended til the end of the year, parents responsible for mental health services and education. Return the following year, sure, but do it again and you're out forever. And yes, I want to see this applied to white kids too. No getting off with rich lawyers.

Kids who act out are doing it for a reason, they are having trouble with something. Please explain how denying them any education is supposed to help them - or those who they will interact with?

What can they do? Nothing. Not since the whole "every student is entitled to an equal education" BS came about.

It is not BS, dipshit

Oakridge has also had some really rough students, including the one that got outdoor lab overnights canceled for a time.

True. But lots of schools have rough students.

Says the person who’s downright combative when it comes to defending all things APS.

They shouldn’t. Those who can’t behave should be shipped off to alternative school, so everyone else can still learn.

It’s about protecting the rights of everyone else in the classroom.

The principal definitely has anger issues. She also has very clear favorites on the staff—-many of who have made-up/fluff jobs that other schools don’t offer or jobs that require very little face time with kids.

That sounds like lacking supervision on APS’s part. Very poor use of district funds and tax dollars.
