What’s your alternative?

Bring back suspensions? That’s been shown to be racist.

Expulsions? All that does is support the school to corporate prison pipeline.

And this is America; every student is innocent until they are proven in a court of law; besides: what about their education? Don’t they have a right to an equal education too? Can’t do that if you are constantly suspending kids (plus their acting out really isn’t their fault. If they got the wrap-around services they deserve then none of this would be an issue.)

Hello. I’m a kid who went to NEC schools all their life. Till now. Come a few weeks, I’ll be in a Catholic high school.

I’m a Black American boy, and for 10 years I’ve witnessed fight after fight, curse-out after curse-out, and just overall heinous groundskeeping. Despite the fact that I’m in a group that’s the most suspended, I’ve never been. I go to school, mind my business, come home with no issue.

Half the fights are about the dumbest 💩 known to man—stuff like “Oh I stole your 🐕 what are you gonna do about it?” or some dumb Instagram beef. And these kids never get any kind of repercussions. They look at me weird for going to class like a normal human being.

I absolutely think that expulsions should be brought back. There’s no reason—with the COL as expensive as it is—that my mom has to pick up a second job to pay for private school just so I can walk to class without seeing a daily fight in the hallway.

For people asking if the NEC schools are that bad: they are.

For extra info, my journey was this:
Burtonsville Elementary (2015–2020)
Benjamin Banneker Middle (2020–2023)
Paint Branch High School (2023–2025)

"I'm a Black American boy..."

Does this sound like any teenager you know?

You could have worked this summer to help pay for it.

( the letter). They eventually overturned the decision but it was just weird the lengths that they will go through to lies and make teachers lives more difficult.

You’re switching HS for junior and senior year? What school even has an opening in that grade except for extreme circumstances or kids of families moving into an area?

We can't teach kids that are not behaved well enough to learn and when there is chaos in the classroom the good students can't learn either. Further, when principals blame the teachers we feel helpless and attacked professionally as we are getting literally attacked and told not to write reports or address it or we face having to take the accountability for it regardless. Then we resign or are fired or forced to resign involuntary. I even know how to answer the question bc it was such a gray area as I was a new teacher and my school was so dirty the reports were just made up. I get it principals are busy but this -we need a fall guy mentality and teachers will take the fall is proving itself to not be a good idea.

You can't be forced to resign.

You are incredibly naive if you believe this to be true.

Nope. You either resign willingly or get fired. Let's not pretend that if someone was asked to resign involuntarily, there wouldn't be another 500k lawsuit. It's not legal.
