[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditch restorative justice in the schools.

It is horrible for the victim and horrible for teachers.

Return to old fashioned discipline and suspensions.[/quote]

Unfortunately, can’t happen because Biden brought back Obama-era discipline policies, e.g. proportionality doctrine wrt suspensions, RJ et centera

Also, parents who block the school’s numbers on their phones are well, unhelpful, plus their attitudes of “when my child is at school, they’re your problem”

Which is part of the reason that IDEA and FAPE need to be revisited. The restrictions placed on the schools to try and find a solution to keep kids in a mainstream classroom regardless of behavior is too much. Kids should be able to be moved to a more restrictive environment when their behavior endangers a Teacher or other kids. I understand that there are disabilities and mental illness issues that can lead kids to be disregulated and that it is out of the kids control but that does not justify the danger that kids and Teachers are placed in when that happens. There should be some type of plan for more quickly moving those kids out of the mainstream classroom until they are able to participate without potentially hurting someone.

The child in this case may have attacked a Teacher at a different school and the response was to move him to a new school not find a secured classroom with additional supervision to help him and the other people in the room stay safe. That is ridiculous.

The Federal Government has not provided the funding needed so that schools can afford the 1 on 1 aides that many kids need or even the Teachers needed om Special Education and they have made it harder to properly place kids who need services. It is a giant cluster. [/quote]
