[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]
Frankly, any student who assaults a classmate, teacher or administrator should, at the very least, be moved to an alternative school until they can regulate their behavior. If the offense is serious enough, they should be referred to the juvenile criminal justice system.

I never understood why attacking another student or an employee of a school is considered less serious than, say, assaulting the cashier at a 7-11 down the street from the school. [/quote]

Because black folks are expected to put up with foolishness from other black folks in the name of "equity."  This is why I couldn't send my UMC black child to Stuart Hobson after the buffoonery I've witnessed.  For all I knew, something would go down one day and every black boy with a red shirt would be a suspect.

Yes, non-black skin provides a degree of protection that wouldn't extend to my son, so I couldn't risk it. [/quote]
The sad thing is, I believe the supposed educator on this thread truly believes she's helping everyone with her nonsense, especially AA kids.

The reality is, in a place like DCPS, it's going to lead to more AA kids being victimized by bullies, and being forced to sit in some asinine discussion circle with their abuser. When what the victims of those bullies really need is to have their victimizers removed from the environment until they learn to regulate their behavior.  [/quote]
