There was an altercation at the school between students, one of which called his parents, they showed up at the school, walked in the front door past security, happened to find that other kid involved and started attacking him. The melee proceeded to move outside where the parents chased the kid all the way around the school back to the front of the building. At this point dozens of students ran out the front door to jump in the fight or film the fight and this is when the school did a half assed lockdown.

Sorry- The response below is to this poster...

PP back again. You gotta lawyer up. It's the only way. We placed our kid in a non public then filed due process complaint and won back tuition. It's a hell of a gamble.

Are you in DC? I have heard about this in some other jurisdictions, but DC's system of private placements makes this a huge gamble.

Yes this was DC. Lawyers advised us they thought we would win. (Not a guarantee, obviously, and I am not going to go into possibly identifying factors here, but DCPS made mistakes)

You need to get out of your bubble and learn about other cultures.

You need to stop apologizing for this type of behavior and claiming it is evidence of "culture". It isn't. It is criminal behavior. Wrapping your arms around it and defending it as part of black culture that white people need to appreciate is simply crap.

I assumed this was a joke. Bubble? maybe. But 'WORLDSTAR!" isn't culture. It's trash behavior.

Great post. I have a kid who acts out and the school is not willing to give him consequences that I think would be appropriate. On the flip side, his behavior is very much learned from/kindled by other children’s bad behavior. I honestly think if “being sent to the principal’s office” was still a thing, he’d be much better. Kids need swift, unemotional consequences, but somehow it turns into a giant production that gives too much attention to it.

The flip side is that DCPS is woefully unprepared to deal with behavioral issues that stem from legitimate diagnoses. That means kids stay in gen ed dysregulated because everyone knows the BES classes are only for the really really tough kids.
