[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS Admin here - I wish parents understood how much our hands are tied when it comes to suspending students. The kids know we can't really do much. Our directors have to approve every suspension that we make and high suspension numbers reflect poorly on our school system for MSDE.

This might sound terrible, but school should be treated like more of a privilege than a right (FAPE). As an administrator, we're supposed to be instructional leaders. I cannot get into classrooms consistently to provide feedback on instruction because of how extreme student behaviors have become over the past decade.

As another poster mentioned, so many of society's issues are spilling into our school buildings and educators are expected to wear every hat under the sun. Truthfully, we shouldn't have to juggle all of these challenges. We all went to school to teach and that is becoming more and more challenging to do.[/quote]

If school is treated as a privilege, girls, low income people, kids with disabilities and those who are people of color will be lucky to be offered any education at all.

They want white girls uneducated and married off soon after puberty to pump out cannon fodder for the Fatherland. You only have to open a history book to know that securing a quality free education the rest has been a battle for more than a century.

I have family members alive today who attended segregated schools after Brown because it took years to actually integrate.[/quote]

Many of us cannot get IEP's/504's with documented needs or even the most basic supports from our schools.  You are living in a bubble if you think everyone is welcome and has their needs met.[/quote]

You don’t think it will be much, much worse if school is no longer a right?[/quote]
