[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just reread the article and Killy is quoted saying "... the idea for a disciplinary student council was originally proposed six or seven years ago by a student who researched it for their senior quest."

So much for GDS administration using a research-backed disciplinary approach.   :roll: [/quote]
I'm hardly pro-DCC, but your logic doesn't follow. Sure, it clearly started as a student idea, but how does that lead to a conclusion that its continued existence or current incarnation isn't at all "research-backed"?[/quote]

It doesn’t. But surely someone has asked to see this impressive research that led to the formation of the DCC? Truly, it would be hilarious if all they can point to is a student research paper- but maybe not. Perhaps there is volumes of peer reviewed studies available on this subject. [/quote]

I have push backed with the grade deans who administer the process about the lack of transparency and clarity and have asked does the process or policy consider impact on the child that has to go through the process. Based on the article, my own high schooler, and comments on this board that that many times its one-time or small offenses that shouldn't warrant the involved insane process. The answer I've gotten from grade deans is literally "I'm just the messenger" or a non answer. I know this DCC thing hopefully only impacts a small group of students but this is how the high school generally operates. No one takes accountability, lack of transparency and they don't want to deal with parents or consider programs are a mess. [/quote]
