[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid, who is at Eastern in the magnet, told me something interesting today:  that there is a program at Eastern for kids who have been behavior issues at other schools.  He says there are a couple of classrooms where these kids are, and that most of the fighting and other similar behavior is from these kids.   He said that the magnet and comprehensive kids do the normal middle school stuff but the real wild misbehavior comes from kids who are sent to Eastern from around the county for this program.

He told me that one of his teachers explained this when students in the magnet were asking why so-and-so didn't get into trouble for his behavior.  The teacher explained about this program and said that those kids had different kinds of discipline plans and that it wasn't always obvious because the school wanted to be discreet, but that they were addressed with those individual students.

I looked and can find no reference to this but I thought it was interesting that his teacher told them.[/quote]

It is true that there is a program at EMS for kids with emotional disabilities and behavioral issues.   Kids who need special support for these kinds of problems are grouped together in a single school in the cluster.  EMS is the cluster middle school for this program, which is referenced on the school info sheet which can be found on the MCPS website on the schools at a glance page.

FWIW, our DC's perception of misbehavior at school is quite different and that it's not fair to scapegoat this program for the overall discipline problems at EMS.
