Liberal Policies Designed To Make Schools Dangerous

[PoliticalChic]

Geezzzz.....not bad enough that the schools no longer teach, now the Liberals who own the public schools wan to make sure that thugs run them.



1. "How liberal discipline policies are making schools less safe

2. New York public-school students caught stealing, doing drugs or even attacking someone can avoid suspension under new “progressive” discipline rules ...

3. Convinced traditional discipline is racist because blacks are suspended at higher rates than whites, New York City’s Department of Education has in all but the most serious and dangerous offenses replaced out-of-school suspensions with a touchy-feely alternative punishment called “restorative justice,” which isn’t really punishment at all. It’s therapy.




4. ...everywhere it’s been tried, this softer approach has backfired.
... other large urban school districts are reporting fewer suspensions since adopting the non-punitive approach. But that doesn’t necessarily mean fewer infractions.

In fact, many districts are seeing more classroom disruptions and violence —


5. .... the movement — which is driven by new race-based anti-discipline guidelines issued by the Obama administration — is creating friction between teachers unions and the liberal mayors they otherwise support.
Politicians can praise the new system, but it’s teachers who must deal with the disruptive and sometimes violent results.





6. ... the Chicago Teachers Union complained the city’s revised student-discipline code has left teachers struggling to control unruly kids.
“It’s just basically been a totally lawless few months,”....

7. ....Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the district, as part of a “Suspension and Expulsion Reduction Plan,” was “moving away from a zero-tolerance policy and promoting restorative practices.”
Students who bully classmates can no longer be removed from classrooms ....

8. ....students have suffered little consequence for infractions as serious as groping a teacher and bringing hollow-point bullets to class.

“You have to have consequences,” Chicago fifth-grade teacher John Engels told the paper. “If you knew the cops weren’t going to enforce the speed limit…you’d go 100 miles an hour.”



9. In Syracuse, meanwhile, teachers complain student behavior has worsened since the school district collapsed discipline structures in favor of restorative justice practices. They say teens are more apt to fight, mouth off to teachers and roam the halls under the more lenient policy. They’re even seeing increasingly violent behavior among elementary school children." How liberal discipline policies are making schools less safe New York Post




10. More proof that Liberals/Progressives can't get anything right.

" Nothing Liberals relish more than searching for reasons for being morally indignant! This is because they can’t take the moral high ground on abortion, adultery, illegitimacy, the divorce rate, drugs, crime, a president molesting an intern and then lying to federal investigators. They stake out a clear moral position only on the issue of slavery…of course, when it mattered, they were on the wrong side of that, too."

About Solutions Not Suspensions

Out-of-school suspensions cut classroom time for those who need it most.

Every year, 3.3 million students in the United States are suspended from school, causing them to miss critical learning time, as well as opportunities to grow and succeed.

Recent federal data show that Black and Latino students and students with disabilities are disproportionately targeted by suspensions. They are also likely to be punished more severely than white students for minor misbehavior, contributing to the achievement gap and high dropout rates for these students.

Solutions Not Suspensions is calling for a nationwide moratorium on out-of-school suspensions.

To implement this moratorium, Solutions Not Suspensions, a grassroots initiative of students, educators, parents, and community leaders, is calling on states and districts to support teachers and schools in dealing with discipline in positive ways – keeping students in the classroom and helping educators work with students and parents to create safe and engaging classrooms that protect the human rights to education and dignity.

There are solutions.

Solutions Not Suspensions promotes proven programs that equip teachers and school administrators with effective alternatives to suspensions. In support of this initiative, the Dignity in Schools Campaign is releasing a set of model school discipline policies that provide guidelines to help districts and schools implement the moratorium and phase in positive alternatives. Solutions Not Suspensions's website will serve as a clearinghouse for information on effective alternatives to suspension and give supporters an opportunity to add their voice to the call for a moratorium.​

I do, however, support in school suspensions over out of school suspensions. Know what kids do when they get "suspended" at my son's school? They scrape gum off desks, edge sidewalks with hand tools, clean the cracks out of those sidewalks, etc.

 

[bodecea]

What is sometimes forgotten in the rush to not suspend trouble makers, by keeping them in the school/class, the other students are not getting the teacher's full attention, but they ARE getting a lesson on how to misbehave and get away with it.

There should be alternatives to school for those who have no desire to learn......like ditch digging.

 

[PoliticalChic]

So....who believes the Liberal discipline policy makes school a more dangerous place?

Teachers and teacher's unions.




11. ".... Syracuse Teachers Association President Kevin Ahern said in a recent letter to the Syracuse Post-Standard, it has created a “systemic inability to administer and enforce consistent consequences for violent and highly disruptive student behaviors” that “put students and staff at risk and make quality instruction impossible.”




12. Los Angeles Unified School District is seeing a similar spike in campus offenses after its school superintendent followed federal orders to reduce suspensions of African-Americans. Even threats against teachers are ignored,...
[More work by the Obama-Holder-Sharpton Axis.]

a. “I was terrified and bullied by a fourth-grade student,” a teacher at a Los Angeles Unified School District school recently noted on the Los Angeles Times website. “The black student told me to ‘Back off, b—h.’ I told him to go to the office and he said, ‘No, b—h, and no one can make me.’ ”


b. ...another LAUSD teacher: “We now have a ‘restorative justice’ counselor, but we still have the same problems. Kids aren’t even suspended for fights or drugs.”


c. In neighboring Orange County, teachers are dealing with increasingly violent and disrespectful student behavior since schools there also switched to the restorative strategy."
How liberal discipline policies are making schools less safe New York Post




Remember.....the same political ideologues, Liberals, who have reduced what was once among the finest school systems to a global joke, now what to make certain that savages and cretins are in charge in the classroom.


Liberals......doing what Liberals do best: placing society under a 'law of the jungle' system.

Out of school suspension more often than not reinforces bad behavior. Punch a teacher? Get a 2 week vacation.
