one of my wife's previous schools (elementary school), they had a child that was just absolutely horrible. Threw chairs, cursed, even body-slammed a pregnant substitute teacher.
That’s a suburban district.
An urban district has 10 of those kids in every school.

Department of Education regulations keep our schools from being able to discipline students.
In this particular school district, it ain't the feds who are fricking it up. It's the woke school district itself and dive-bombimg demographics. I live in it, pulled my kid from it last year, trust me on this.

Trust me. The school can be as conservative as a Baptist potluck. It doesn’t change DoE guidelines on discipline.

So the plan to take over our schools by the left is, in fact, working exactly how they hoped.

This is exactly where I am at.
The system sucks. No discipline.
No accountability.
Only identity politics to the max.
It's gross.

GCPS has gone to shite. I was shocked Knudsen beat Rudnick. Hopefully Alexis Williams beats Adrienne, even though she's a nutjob too. Showed up to Board meeting and started fricking singing.
Kid has 5 more years and we're getting the frick out.

I had a first year teacher come into my room today and complain because a first year principal told her she “had too many failures.” This teacher is a good, no- nonsense teacher.
Principals are only worried about how they look and how many angry phone calls they receive. That is why good teachers hear:
1. You have too many failures (I don’t want to have to answer the phone this summer)
2. I don’t want to see 8s and 9s on report cards … meaning 58s and 59s (once again, phone calls)
3. We are overcrowded and holding a kid back does not help the situation.
That is what administration has told me for 27 years here deep in the heart of Dixie.

After walking through Paulo Freire’s “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” a foundational text for our current education system, I’m utterly convinced.
I read that in college in 2004 and wrote an essay ripping him/it. It was a basic writing class so the professor has to give me an A, but I could tell she was a big proponent.
