Basically, all of this says two things: 1. Superintendent/Administrators need to support staff and start doing their jobs. 2. Schools are unsafe and lack of discipline is the cause. Further, the most important statement here is the "good" kids are being denied the education they deserve and desire! The parents of these kids (majority) need to take action and help the teachers take back our schools!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! Administrators also have to STOP blaming teachers!
DeleteI have just heard that the Corcoran modify boys basketball team had attacked the coach and bus driving on the way home from an away game. The boys threatened to find the wife of the coach and "tie her up and rape her" along with a few other details I dont feel right typing. The bus driver had to call 911 while a 4th boy tried to tell the other three to stop what they were doing. The school gave these three boys a "fair hearing" and are back in school!!! The 4th boy was threaten and the parents felt the threats great enough to pull him out of the SCSD and place him in a private school!!! So what we are telling these "thugs" go ahead and threathen attack and what ever else you feel you want to do....there is no punishment and you can run the school...school bus...teachers...coaches ect....it is OK!!! THE PARENTS OF THE "GOOD KIDS" GIVE UP AND PULL THEIR CHILDREN OUT!!!! The SCSD will be left with nothing but THUGS AND GANG MEMEBERS!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! This story is media worthy! Somebody should call Channel 3 and 9.
DeletePlease grammar/spell check. Many errors like "Choke till your dead". Otherwise really good document
ReplyDeleteI have heard that school-based administrators are being harassed by their executive directors and other district staff not to dish out tough consequences. It seems to me since this drastic change in student behavior has escalated over the past three years, the superintendent and her minions are to blame.
ReplyDeleteBuilding principals should stand up to Sharon if this is true! They have a union! Truthfully, this has been going on pre Sharon!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, due to the APPR regulations building principals are not able to stand up to district office administrators. They also have a subjective evaluation process and their jobs depend on it just like ours do. I am guessing that their union is not any more supportive than ours is, so without any backing, it is not very surprising that they are afraid to disobey directives from downtown. Although there have always been children with problematic behaviors in our district, I have never seen such widespread, violent, disrespectful behavior taking place regularly, and without any consequences, prior to the last two years. I know that in all of the years I have worked in my school building I have never seen such violence directed at staff members prior to the current superintendent's administration.
DeleteWell, Maybe the teachers and principals should unite. What do you think?
DeleteNot possible at this point. Too much trust had been broken. Welcome to Broad Street Academy life.
DeleteNot sure where to post this information, but I had the pleasure of having dinner with some school administrators and teachers this evening. At dinner they were talking about the editorial from the director of CAA in today's paper. According to the conversation, the CAA is the group that calls each parent and offers to go to the hearings to advocate for the student. Does this organization receive money from the school district for this service? If it does, I believe the editorial is a conflict of interest.
ReplyDeleteWho is advocating for the children that are doing the right thing? How come no one is standing up for them?
ReplyDeleteUpon reading throught this attachment, few things caught me by suprise as I have been a teacher in the SCSD for 23 years. However, I will tell ALL of you fellow staff members it is ILLEGAL for ANYONE to discourage you or to tell you that you CANNOT call the police. This is obstruction of justice and the person who discourages you or tells you that you cannot call the police CAN be arrested. This has been told to me by several police officers that I have worked with in SCSD school.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information! Unfortunately. we still cannot afford the retaliation! It is sad but true!
