[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things can be simultaneously true:
1) there can be racial bias and black and brown boys can be discriminated against with more likelihood of discipline compared to peers from different groups 
2) statistically, more infractions of rules are actually committed by certain populations (which are also associated with poverty) and you can’t just ignore the code of conduct and associated discipline because you are trying to improve optics and stats. Honestly think about every well known school shooter. It’s not some 45 year old umc mom. It’s boys, mostly white, late teens early 20s. [/quote]

I agree with you. Both of those things are true. But to hold both of those truths simultaneously requires a level of intelligence, competence and nuance that MCPS seems fundamentally incapable of.[/quote]

+1000 and I’m a MCPS teacher [/quote]

I'd love to see the stats taking race out of it an using poverty as an indicator instead. [/quote]
