[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also left DCPS because of the unannounced visits every two days to say "I gotcha". But I mostly left because there were kids being beat up or intimidated by the class bully and the young principal refused to do anything because he didn't want the young child of color to be criminalized. Although that young kid was punching other children, kicking, scratching, cursing, etc. multiple times a day in a daily basis. On one particular day this kid threw a chair and it hit another kid in the back. Fortunately, the other child was okay. But that incident was not documented and the students were used to the violence. Whenever I had parent volunteers the violent child was sent to another classroom to prevent parents from being concerned. Of course, when you teach first grade, the kids have a hard time advocating for themselves or really conveying to their parents the kind of drama that unfolds during the school day. [/quote]

This happens at my school quite frequently. We have a few students who hit, kick, bite, punch, push, threaten to kill, and cuss out students and teachers on a regular basis. Yet, the principal refuses to suspend the students because it will look bad on the school’s record. It’s appalling! [/quote]
