[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC at the age of 7 was suspended for 3 days at a Bethesda ES. Total clusterf*ck. It was the principal's call. The rest of the staff looked stunned and embarrassed. In the end we got county placement because it was clear 1) the school couldn't handle dc and 2) dc needed different/better. MCPS is an f-in mess.

This is why Maryland now prohibits most suspensions for K-2 kids.  The law just went into effect for this school year.

That's good news! People thought our case should have been publicized but I was in the midst of going to county and I didn't want to encounter any problems as a result of this so I kept quiet.  [/quote]

Unfortunately the law has exceptions, "Assaults a teacher, teacher’s aide, student teacher, other
7 professional or paraprofessional school employee, or other student;"  So it seems she can suspend our child regardless.  This has just been an insane situation.
