[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^  Obviously these beatings didn't happen just once but were repeated, traumatizing many students.  The teacher's communications were parents were censored by the administration to the point where they weren't factually correct anymore, so she stopped sending emails.  Yeah, DCPS just rocks.[/quote]

The "bully" had special needs and obviously had rights under FERPA and IDEA not to have the teacher say whatever she wanted.  So that was a correct response.  Still, it sounds like DCPS eventually did the right thing by assigned a FT aid. [/quote]

And the victim had privacy rights, as well.

Moreover, the fact that PP (a parent whose child was neither the direct victim nor the "bully") compiled every email and used them to literally sue DCPS is not exactly the kind of behavior that engenders a school system to report every incident and administration response in writing to parents.  Not that PP was not entitled to her lawsuit--just that it's understandable why, in such a litigious environment, a principal would censor written communications to parents about violence impacting other kids.[/quote]

What school did this all happen at?[/quote]

It happened two years ago and none of the impacted people (teachers, students, admin, etc) are still there, so doesn't matter.[/quote]

So, Peabody.[/quote]
