[quote=Anonymous]I think all urban schools, even those dealing with mainly PK and K students, have issues with severe behavioral problems. Unfortunately, these are often (but certainly not always) kids who are coming from homes where the parents/guardians won't or don't have the capacity to support their own child. In DC, children services just won't do much. They left Relisha Rudd with her Mom afterall. It's up to the school to figure out what to do. Some schools (mostly the Title I schools) have this more or less figured out. They have academic deans that deal solely with kids with behavioral problems, they have therapists and social workers, and protocols for when kids are removed from classrooms and how parents are informed / included in addressing problems.
In the case of the Cluster, we have a dysfunctional administration that wants only one thing - no more complains from DCPS central. Instead of dealing with problems they try to cover them up. They do not support teachers. In the end, the entire school suffers.
