With our two kids we are in the last of our six years at Deal it has be generally great. But there is an inexplicable tolerance for really bad behavior by a small number of students that has a big impact on the overall school climate. It's time for that to stop.
Is there a link to video
Folks, please don’t post it. It’s really gross that it’s out there and that people want to watch it.
Every single parent who cares about this situation should email this video to the principal, the Chancellor and the Mayor. This should not be swept under the rug. There are too many students in that building. The people who created this situation and who maintain it should be flooded with this evidence of their failure to keep kids safe.
If kids don’t start getting suspended, the teacher turnover is going to be massive. -Deal teacher
Yawn. Teachers on this board threaten mass resignations in response to literally every working condition.
While you are yawning look at the threads about the Wilson physics class with no teacher and the three Walls teacher vacancies. You will care when your kid has no teacher. And with the way things are going it is likely to happen.

What’s an AP?
assistant principal, and I heard that he was jumped by several students.
If this is true, it’s just tragic. He is wonderful and so very dedicated.
What does this say to the community of students when a respected school leader is assaulted?
It says that they can assault teachers, administrators, and any other adults in the building with impunity.
As for the AP that was assaulted, he is dedicated, and I wouldn't wish this on any staff member at Deal, but, he's not that wonderful. Look at the rate of turnover in ELA teachers at Deal.

I honestly think school districts are going to have to return to a zero tolerance policy for violence or at least meaningful consequences for students. You think there is a teacher shortage now? With the pandemic, the increasing demands on teachers and the lack of support for misbehaving and violent kids there are going to be no teachers left.

He went to all the store owners Along Connecticut Avenue and told them if they saw any of his students acting up to call him and he would be on it right away. He made deal such a wonderful safe place. Of course it wasn’t quite as large then as it is now.
