[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully if the DOE is disbanded schools can go back to enforcing discipline. So many teachers are quitting because they are tired of being attacked, tired of witnessing out of control  students facing no discipline, tired of watching two or three students completely ruin the classroom environment so no one can learn.

One student shouldn't hold a class hostage so that 20 to 30 kids don't learn that day because one student has a tantrum and is allowed to destroy a classroom and assault their teacher and classmates.

Right now ALL public schools are REQUIRED to report information to the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). The CRDC measures student access to courses, programs, Internet and devices, instructional and other staff, and resources – as well as school climate factors such as student discipline, use of restraint and seclusion, harassment or bullying, and offenses occurring at schools.

In theory this seems like it is a good idea but it is out of control. They report things like more boys are suspended from school and that shouldn't be happening. Well, that is who causes the majority of the issues that result in suspension.

If any one race has lower or higher stats, that gets flagged so there are ridiculous statements like, "American Indian or Alaska Native students, Black students, White students, and students of two or more races were overrepresented in referrals to law enforcement and school-related arrests in public schools. (Figure 5)". So schools then worry about reporting anyone even though the statistics are not so out of whack.

There are pages and pages of information on every category. For example, the report goes on to say in this area "Black students represented 15% of total K-12 student enrollment, but 18% of students who were referred to law enforcement, and 22% of students subjected to school-related arrests.
• White students represented 46% of total K-12 student enrollment, but 55% of students who were referred to law enforcement, and 47% of students subjected to school-related arrests."

Here is another stat: "Black boys and girls, White boys, and boys of two or more races attending public schools were overrepresented in suspensions and expulsions".

So schools in response don't want to get flagged so there is no discipline. If there are zero suspensions then a school can't be found to have any category of student overrepresented.  [/quote]

I wouldn't miss this, or all the testing and reporting there.  But he simultaneously claims he will prevent schools from teaching anything regarding DEI or CRT or racism, or even really slavery, so I'm not convinced we aren't entering into a whole new, but just as bad, type of reporting and interference.
