[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fantastic that one of his accomplishments is a r[b]eduction in suspensions[/b]. That's great news!

Signed, 
Parent whose kids attend a WOTP ES and the idea of suspensions is something I didn't even know I needed to consider until I started getting the sales pitches on going IB to Hardy.[/quote]

And what is that a 'fantastic accomplishment'?  From what I observe almost daily on the sidewalks of Tenleytown, DC schools, particularly Wilson, could use more suspensions -- and even expulsions![/quote]

Wow the r[b]eactionary and racist[/b] nature of DCUM never fails but still surprises me.  One of the least effective ways to change behavior is through suspensions and expulsions.  In fact, it reinforces and extends the behavior issues.  The point is to address the antecedents to prevent the 'need' for these actions.  Which starts with stopping thinking from a racist mindset of thinking of kids who have not been supported to succeed in school and/or home as 'thugs'

So you're assuming that all of the major delinquents among Wilson students are minorities?  What does that say about you?![/quote]

Ah, the old "You noticed a racist dog whistle so it's YOU who are racist" switcheroo! Bzzt, thanks for playing.
