[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an "entitled" parent, I can believe that teachers are getting a hard time from parents at a Title I school, especially since the SRO's are removed and if the sup put the word out that 'restorative justice' is the policy.

MCEA already knows this current sup and board are an issue.  My guess is that's why none of the incumbents were endorsed by the Apple Ballot this year.

For the first time ever, I'm taking an interest in the board elections and making sure I don't vote for a single encumbent.[/quote]

We need restorative justice. We need more of it, not less. We need to heal our society members, not punish them. THAT IS NOT WORKING.[/quote]

Restorative justice can only work with enough time and Human Resources. Schools are so under staffed and therefore restorative justice is not implemented correctly. Nor can it be with the current staffing levels. So you might think it’s what is best, but if it can’t be rolled out with our current reality then it is not helping anyone. We need a system in place that can actually be used daily in the schools![/quote]

I agree. But that doesn't mean we should give up on it. We should be committed to making it work -- or find something else that will. The way we are doing things clearly is not. How many shootings do we need to see how badly we are raising our young people? They are in school all day. What a missed opportunity.[/quote]

Actually kids are at home more than they are at school. You might want to think that schools can fix all issues, but that’s not true. And this belief it is what is driving teachers away in droves. Without family support and better upbringing, kids will keep failing and schools ccan only do so much.[/quote]

Kids are in school from roughly 9 to 4:30. Most stay at after care. That's a LONG day. They're home for dinner and TV. School plays a huge role. I think school should be half day or 3/4 of the hours it is now, honestly, because they spend so much time around people who cannot possibly "raise" them. [/quote]
No one is stopping you from home schooling your kids.[/quote]
