2016 Postmortem

(11,841 posts)72. Out-of-school suspension is BS for sure. Kids view it as a vacation.
We havent had that around here for years now, unless the student has been violent.
The bigger problem is the sorry parents. Kids who have parents who dont give a shit are a lot more likely to not care about school. A friend of mine who teaches was telling me how he's had to explain to his 3rd graders that cussing a blue streak isnt allowed in school, regardless of how much its done at home. And that you cant leave trash on the floor at school either!!

Saying “We have to bring them to heel.” is worse than calling them Super Predators, right?

She didn't use the word "black". She didn't say "African American". She used the word "gangs".
