[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Are there any statistics on how often this is happening in schools? [/b]Like is it once per week, or twice per day in every grade? My daughter is in 5th and I never hear anything like this happening. We're in a mid-size, high-SES/UPC public school. FCPS.[/quote]

I'm a teacher and would love to know this. We are able to submit discipline referrals via our online system but we can't see what happens after that. Administrators do not like to have a high number of referrals so we're actively discouraged from submitting anything unless it's really serious. There's a lot of shaming at some schools and teachers are made to feel inadequate if they continuously refer students, even if it is egregious behavior. I suspect parents would be livid if they realized how often it's happening though.[/quote]

It should be mandatory for this to be regularly reported to parents. Parents have every right to know what their children are being exposed to.[/quote]
