[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have our DESA family interview and will be asking this week. These students should not be allowed at school. Thanks for all the info. Outside of what is hopefully a small (and soon to be former?) group of students, DESQ sounds like a great fit for our DC. But we want to see strong leadership in situations like this. And leaders do not cave to parents and will get rid of kids like this from the student body. [/quote]

lol. Tell me without telling me that you are coming from a majority white school.

DESA will not kick these kids out. Not a chance. [/quote]

End of weekend. Sigh. I replied to the wrong post. Kid is at Deal. Older sibling is at J-R. We’ve gotten the weapons abatement emails at J-R and principal Brown seems to take things seriously. Our family has been very happy at both Deal and J-R (though we think class scheduling could be done better at J-R).

lol ok, knew it.  Go ahead and tell the DESA teachers in the parent interview how they need to be[b] more zero tolerance with expulsions.[/b] Good luck to you and your kid. [/quote]

dp - There's a lot of ground between doing nothing and zero tolerance.

You clearly are commenting due to some chip on your shoulder and have no knowledge of this specific situation.[/quote]

I’m commenting on the vision of the Deal mom lecturing the DESA teachers at the interview about her expectations for school discipline. [/quote]

Yeah. Just keep sneering.  It's so charming.

I mean, you have no idea about how these issues are dealt with at DCPS so not sure why you are even trying to get into a DCPS HS. [/quote]

I'm PP but not the person with the kid applying to DESA.

What I know is that "teachers" are not the ones responsible for discipline in this case; that "Deal mom" wasn't lecturing anyone -- she was expressing her very reasonable view; and that Deal mom obviously is familiar with DCPS as she has at least one child in it.

I'm just not sure why you (or whoever the poster above is) is chiding the concerned poster.  Seriously disruptive behavior *should* be dealt with.   [/quote]

lol tell me again without telling me that you have no experience with DCPS other than very sheltered wealthy schools. Some teachers can in fact have a lot of influence over how some kids are treated and disciplined. [/quote]

What exactly is your angle here?  DCPS families should just accept weapons in schools because that’s a normal part of “non-wealthy” communities  that just needs to be accepted? That’s absurd. All families should expect safe schools in all communities. Full stop. [/quote]

I think I made myself pretty clear? It’s that you have no idea what attending a high poverty DC school (which DESA is) is all about and I’m laughing at the idea of you taking a stand about this in the interview and thinking you are being all brave or whatever. So entitled. Well anyway good luck with the interview. [/quote]
