[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why won’t the county take action to fix the hot mess?[/quote]
There is often a cohort of students that consistently demonstrate behavioral issues and cause classroom disruptions.  The schools (including Oakridge) will often not discipline or remove these students, instead choosing a "restorative justice" type of approach, which does nothing.  The teachers and other students continue to have to deal with the disruptive kids.  APS dealt with lawsuits in the past where it was shown that some demographic groups were disciplined more often than others.  As a result, APS decided to stop disciplining.  Voila -- the problem of inequitable discipline has disappeared. [/quote]

This is absolutely true. But the situation is greatly exacerbated by the leadership problems at the school. All schools have to deal with a lack of serious consequences in APS (often in the name of “equity”), but not all of them turn into hot messes like this.

I’m curious about the lunchtime consequences, though. Whuuuut??[/quote]

Yep. Oakridge has the same guidance from APS as all other elementary schools, but it’s the worst by far. I know a lot of subs who refuse to work at oakridge.
