If you don't know the material you should fail the class
If you disrupt the classroom you should be out of the class

If this means more low income Hispanic and black students so be it

Social promotion and showing that you can get by by doing nothing doesn't do these kids any favors.  It just reinforces bad habits.

[b]In the real world jobs don't care if you are an URM.  Your ass is fired if you can't do the work and/or can't show up on time/at all[/b][/quote]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is what happens if you are an URM. In MCPS secondary schools and in the real world, allowances are made for white and wealthy people when they engage in the exact same behaviors as poor people of color. [/quote]

If that were really the case, go for those who made the rules for the "allowances". Don't try to compensate for that using our school system.

Start by demanding that family vacations are not excused regardless of the socioeconomic status of the family. Write letters to the BOE and Smith on this issue specifically. Ask why a week at Disney is an educational experience, but attending the funeral of a cousin is an excused absence.[/quote]

That's an item we should address too, but how about first addressing the larger issue -- no consequences for piling up unexcused absences?[/quote]
