[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]o I can't speak for the other PPs pushing back on you but I was the one who talked about the uncomfortable change. I am a 20+ year educator who has a B.A in public policy and an M. ED in Urban Education. This isn't one parent debating another on what is correct. [b]This is an expert in the field stating why these policies are being put into place and you not liking it. I'm sorry that your child isn't thriving in this new world but many are and we will keep moving forward with or without you.

I actually am MORE unimpressed with those credentials.  IMO, part of the decline in public education started when people started getting degrees in "education" without ever actually getting credentialed in teaching any particular subject.  And your tone is exactly the type of leftist authoritarian "we know best" BS that offends so many.  Kids should be able to come to school confident that if they are physically assaulted, then the aggressor will be removed from the general education environment until he or she is able to self regulate.  And any student who assaults a teacher or administrator needs to be placed on out of school suspension immediately.  The fact that DCPS will not advocate for those basic safety measures are a large reason why 47% of kids using public education in the city choose charters.[/quote]

The shots at my education aside, I agree! Again, students (and parents) do not see every consequence. We don't shame kids while we teach them to self regulate. They may be required to take a 1:1 self - regulation class with a member of the schools Mental Health Team. They will definitely have some sort of re-entry process.

I'm sorry to say this but I feel like families need to hear it: You do not deserve to know how other people's children are being disciplined.[/quote]

In fact, if my child is the victim of another child's violent, dangerous behavior, I have every right as a parent, a taxpaying citizen, and a member of the community to know precisely what is being done to protect students. That includes hearing from school administrators [b]what disciplinary measures have been taken, and how many times an offending student is allowed to behave violently or threateningly before they are deemed in need of removal.[/b] [/quote]

No you don't

Our DCPS principal thought he could stonewall us when another kid was bullying our son. He was very wrong, as our attorney made it very clear to him.

People like you roll over pretty quickly when they run into someone who is willing to advocate for their kids. [/quote]
