Public School Problems...

While he hears from (usually white) parents about classroom disruption, some parents of color want to know why students with IEPs are disproportionately black boys. He attributed the disparity to trauma experienced in the home and said teachers are undergoing professional development to learn how to “connect with” students from low-income and minority families, while also setting high expectations for those students

i.e. a disproportionate amount of black kids have shitty parents and we're trying to teach our teachers to take time away from the rest of the class to raise these disruptive kids because their parents should've been sterilized

YAY diversity!!


:progressives smile while everything burns to the ground:

Kid comes from welfare household (not exactly the most stable environment) and more than likely will have issues. Kid acts out in class and ruins the education experience for everyone else.

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Went to middle school near the projects, and boy did it suck. By 7th grade, the school administrators lowkey segregated us by academic merit and behavior. I was in the "smart" group (twenty females, five boys).

And people wonder what causes great white flight.


They don't want to deal with this bullshite or other people's shitty fricking kids.

Behavioral programs AWAY from school should be enacted. All are not equal. Want them to be? Get involved in raising you kid to be a functioning member of society.

This is also why white America has stopped having kids. WTF wants to deal with this shite?

One mother told Means that her 8-year-old son is scared to go to school because of another child’s outbursts. “It’s like a Benny Hill movie” when teachers and administrators chase after him, she said. Meanwhile, she said the other 20 students are “evacuated” to another room that’s not equipped for teaching, where they watch cartoons until the situation is resolved. Another woman who identified herself as a substitute teacher said students have screamed at her and thrown chairs.

Means said students with individual education plans (IEPs)—which can include those with autism, a learning disorder or a physical disability in addition to those with emotional or behavioral disorders—must be in the “least restrictive environment,” which usually means an ordinary classroom. “At what point do you say you tried and move on to Plan B, or in some cases Plan C?”

Means acknowledged that watching a student act out can be “jarring” for other students, but said there’s also a flip side: While he hears from (usually white) parents about classroom disruption, some parents of color want to know why students with IEPs are disproportionately black boys. He attributed the disparity to trauma experienced in the home and said teachers are undergoing professional development to learn how to “connect with” students from low-income and minority families, while also setting high expectations for those students.

i have spoken on here for years that one of the few things in politics that gets me emotional (angry and sad) is this bullshite

this piece of shite is openly saying he'd rather sacrifice the schooling of all the kids who want to learn to protect the kids who are very unlikely to be educated. and then he response to a very reasonable and rational concern of parents who have their children (who did nothing wrong) suffering, with a nonsensical, vague racist comment

*ETA: just so we're clear, the students who suffer the most from these kids who disrupt classes are disproportionately black, too.

Put the Bible back in school. Problems solved

Homeschooled here

There is a reason that Watkinsville has been exploding in size over the past 15 or so years.

People want to live "in Athens" but not in Athens-Clarke County.

Oconee County's public schools are MUCH better.

Schools are out of control, if the people only knew all the BS that they spend money on. The media will never report it though, because THE MEDIA is part of the problem, they get their marching orders from corporate.

This is why I didn't mind staying broke paying tuition for 14 yrs of my life,
also the reason Oconee County has grown immensely over the last decade.
