Second, as I said, the ARTICLE STATED THE VERY SAME THING THAT I SAID ABOUT AVOIDING DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES. And since this article is referring to the incident we are discussing, naturally this aspect would be discussed as well. 
At this point, for you or anyone else to blatantly ignore that issue is just an attempt to be contrary for the heck of it. Try operating in the real world and real life for once instead of operating in fairy tale land. Amusing to me how a majority of people who want to tell the school system how to handle discipline tend to have no real experience with such matters and speak out of some ridiculous notions of context. Work as a teacher in a "bad" area for a WEEK. See how bad you think the zero tolerance policy is at that point. |
I hate to tell you this but at one (13 years ago really but that's here nor there) time I taught what some people considered to be the worst bunch of
5th graders a first year teacher could have and it was far from.
Give them some structure, make a good rapport with the parents and the classes I had were some of the best behaved students...oh yeah and SMART TOO.
Taught at that school for a few years.
Most of these kids lived in MY OWN area of East Baltimore.
So I think I know what the hell I am talking about.
so...why don't you STFU, watch your step coming off of your soapbox and don't trip ofver that bag of 'wrong' you're smoking.
