If the classroom wasn't tough enough for Alabama teachers, now the legislator just passed a bill that will require educators to jump through even more hoops to get rid of bad students. So if you're wondering why Alabama test scores are crashing and more and more teachers are leaving education and fewer and fewer are becoming educators, now you have your answer.

Can't be any worse than Pensacola! Then again, Bama and Pensacola are kinda the same. Escambia County is an awful school district

Bills like these are going around everywhere especially in Special Education.

In 5-10 years, we will not have public education as we know it. There will be Charter and private schools for good kids. Public schools will be left with the rest. They will become like alternative schools where kids sit in a cubical and complete online curriculum.

For much of the country, sending your kids to public school is practically child abuse.

These kids should be sent to trade schools if they cannot function in regular school settings. They will perform better in school under a different structure and be able to be productive members of society with what they have learned in school at a young age. Many are going to end up where they would have ended up anyway, even with trade school, but at least this gives them a second chance at something they could actually do.

The square peg the government keeps trying to fit into a round hole doesn’t work for education.

Regardless, the privileged will continue to excel in this country. Those that focus on family and education are the privileged in the US. A focus on those two things greatly increases odds of success here.

I am not sure I agree if it includes a broad definition of exclusionary discipline including just a removal from the classroom. Some advocacy groups seem to include any removal from class. Also not sure what constitutes long term suspension in state.

For expulsion or forced school change I can see this, but I am not sure on suspensions including in school suspensions especially if they have to be allowed back in class to disrupt other students while hearing is set up.

What if a kid tells the teacher that her woke BS is BS and gets kicked out of school. Would this be an avenue to shine a light on that BS?

Good and Bad. Helps aggressors, hurts good kids who confide in a teacher for help. Yes, it helps the falsely accused but you gotta shell out money to protect your child now or nothing gets done.

Let's make sure the slippery, disinterested and violent crowd at school have tons of protections. Then, do nothing to provide an education to the interested, and protections against the illiterate rabble.

I'm not talking about the special education students.

Been like that in Louisiana. They do not want kids suspended.
