[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although it’s a complex problem that will take a “comprehensive” plan to address, Johns said, he suggested that MCPS focuses on training teachers and principals about students’ different cultural backgrounds and on restorative justice.

[b]The key, he said, is to not pull students out of class to discipline them for actions that are not serious. MCPS considers serious offenses to include physical or sexual assault, other forms of violence and arson.[/b]

More training on cultural backgrounds for teachers and principals?  That will do it.  That will solve the suspensions.

Also, don't forget that it's best to downplay anything.  A kid hits another kid during PE?  That's just kids being kids.  Don't count it as 'assault'.  Pretty much nothing in MCPS counts as 'physical assault'.  Boys being raped in the locker rooms?  Eh, it's just 'hazing'.  I remember very distinctly that the press from MCPS after the Damascus rape case was exclusively about 'hazing' versus calling is sexual assault.  [/quote]

So true.  The 18yr old illegal alien "freshman" having sex with another freshman in the hall at RM a few years ago?  That was just kids being kids.  No need to suspend them.   :roll: [/quote]
