[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You get what you vote for. The people whom most of us voted for (I didn't) did the following in an attempt to help poor black and brown kids:
1. Got rid of SROs
2. Instituted Restorative Justice 
3. Implemented the 50 percent rule
These things actually made things worse especially for the kids they were trying to help...unless they never wanted to help them in the first place. Teachers and parents with means will just leave, leaving behind schools that actually do need help. And these aren't the W schools.[/quote]

Those seem like mostly positive changes. Further, all the detentions and suspensions that have been reported here recently mean your narrative is false and misleading.[/quote]

You've got your head in the sand. Yes, suspensions and detentions are still happening but not nearly as much as they should be. The idea of RJ is to reduce suspension rates which is forcing schools to do everything possible not to suspend kids even when they need to be.  If you think all those were positive changes then tell me what you think is causing the increase in fights, disrespectful behavior, lack of discipline in the schools? Why are teachers wanting to leave the system?[/quote]

On the contrary. You can't say there are no consequences when there are multiple recent threads that address that topic. People are on to this false narrative and know it's BS.[/quote]

Kids are suspended for atrocious things and are allowed to come back to school in a day or 2 to do it all over again. That's the problem. Even with RJ. There are no real consequences, so just stop with your lies. A kid at my school literally sexually assaulted a 6th grader, he was suspended for 2 days, came back and the victim was forced to do an RJ session with him. Went back to the school and did it again. THere's only 2 things that we can do to fix it. Either the culture of reprehensive behavior stops or the school is allowed to set policies in place that only respectful behavior is allowed at school. Full stop.  [/quote]
