And since it's a felony, there should definitely be zero tolerance and the student should be arrested. Why is DCPS micromanaging the police now, telling them how to do their jobs even when it involves ignoring the law? Hmmm, sounds familiar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-77078284583602210192016-07-03T06:55:33.862-06:002016-07-03T06:55:33.862-06:00She now wishes she had pressed charges. if nothin...She now wishes she had pressed charges. if nothing else to help the kid, he needs help but family is in denial and he still has no record. So, next time he does something, it is still the first time. She was told it was up to her but could feel the "pressure" to not press charges....again, very broken system. It should not have been up to her. she should have had to press charges.

He got one day suspension and put in another class to terrorize it. She was encouraged not to press charges. When asked if he wanted to apologize, he said he wouldn't and he would do it again.

I have written so many reports and nothing ever results in any kind of punitive discipline to the student. Instead it is put back on the teacher for not taking control of their classroom and they always want to enforce positive behavior discipline with 25 to 1 positive actions or comments for every one negative. If you send them to administration they give them toys or edibles to take care of the problem right away, which only makes things worse because you are now teaching them bad behavior is rewarded. All of this has become much worse for the teacher since Vitti took over as superintendent.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-8450010102297512482016-07-02T10:02:00.263-06:002016-07-02T10:02:00.263-06:00Terri Brady is out to lunch.
