Just another day at urban schools This kind of stuff happens way more than most people realize This is what I'm talking about. If I were to respond with any number of racist incidents in this country that have occurred just this year with "Just another day in Suburban schools", I'd be hit with SJW/Racism accusations. Why is one act indicative of the environment and its participants and not the other? Because I am more familiar with these environments and I know this is not out of the norm for an urban school. In your defense, racism (and drugs) can also be rampant at suburban schools. The school in Wisconsin that had a photo of everyone doing a nazi salute comes to mind. Thats shitty, and reflects poorly on the whole district. Shouldnt happen. And neither should laying hands on the teacher. Do you believe the Obama era policy that required schools to be more lenient in punishments due to the discrepancy of black students being in trouble helped or hurt? I'm pretty sure Trump ended that rule, I read something just the other day about it. What are your experiences with that mandate? I wish i could give a straight forward answer, but I started teaching in 2012 so I don't know how things were handled before Obama. What I can share is how frustrating it was to have administrators ignore, or even reprimand me, for writing up students. Their skin color didn't matter to them, we just needed to keep our suspension rates low, or so I was told at staff meeting. The issue at some schools was that our student population was heavily African American, so they were more often referred for discipline because they were the majority. It has nothing to do with skin color in my experience, I've seen rotten kids from all sides of the racial spectrum. --- To err is human To arr is pirate <cite>Bloodychess posted [p:914796888] in two studen...
