While the philosophy behind these changes is understandable, in practice, it's a disaster. Federal mandates influence state decisions, and systems fall under those state guidelines.

Teachers are trapped in other words, and while I have zero respect for most administrators these days, they are ruled by numbers. So many incidents remain hidden.

Did anyone see the Clarksburg incident the other day? The letter to the community is in the link.
