[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want SROs in my kids' school.  I went to school with an SRO and he did nothing - I never saw him intervene in a fight but I did see him walk kids out in cuffs for behaviors (including fighting) that would have been just as easily handled with a suspension.

The school to prison pipeline is real.  SROs are a huge part of it.[/quote]

Well DCPS doesn’t suspend students and the SRO can break up fights.

Your experience way back when is not reflective of the current environment.  If we are able to suspend students then the need for SRO might not be as great.[/quote]

Yes, DCPS can suspend students.  There is a limit on the number of days a student can be suspended in a school year, but it's not a low limit and even then exceptions can be made if the student's behavior constitutes an emergency.   [/quote]

It’s not happening with their restorative justice BS.  You have your head in the sand if you think students are being suspended for any behavior issues.  Things have gone from bad to worst with behavior and disruptive classrooms since it was implemented.[/quote]

So weird that disruptive behaviors are getting worse . . . while there has yet to be any decrease in resource officers.  If things are getting worse what's the benefit of having them?  Or do you anticipate that backtracking on phasing out SROs is some kind of sister policy linked to ending restorative justice in schools?  Because that's not been advocated by anyone that I can find.

It's "from bad to worse", BTW.[/quote]
