[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone said this on the locked thread, and I have a question….

It was awful, but there is a backstory and I'm actually more interested in accountability for the way the school handled what led to the situation. I'd like that much more than public shaming those involved. I'm so disappointed with the school and I can't wait to be done with it. Also let's hear it for the elementary school teachers who broke up a fight! Sheesh, I bet that wasn't on their 2023 bingo card.[/quote]

What did the school do wrong?[/quote]

The fact that you think something as significant as the alleged backstory is handled at the school level shows how little you actually know. [/quote]

Huh? The quoted PP said that. “I'm actually more interested in accountability for the way the school handled what led to the situation”. I too, was wondering why they expected to be happening at a School level, or if there was something to school did that made it worse?[/quote]

I am the other commenter.

If you’re an oakridge parent, just ask around. People are piecing things together.  If you’re not an oakridge parent (and this is why I wrote that comment), I don’t want people who aren’t involved going on a crusade and publicly shaming others on behalf of my child. Yes it was awful but that’s not what the kids need and I don’t think it will do any good.

I’m so sorry, PP. These poor 5th graders do not deserve this as their memory of their final year of elementary school.

Is there anything the wider community can do (or lobby for) to make things better going forward?[/quote]

Thank you for saying that. I am touched.

As for what others can do, I don't know. I don't think APS is doing a good job keeping kids safe. It seems like part of the answer is finding a much better way to address behavior problems, which parents have been advocating for for a long time and APS doesn't seem particularly motivated to change things.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by addressing behavioral issues and keeping kids safe??[/quote]
