One of the promises in the outrage...for the record. <BR/>One of the promises in the outrageous effort to force ssa upon all students at all schools, system-wide, was that it would improve discipline in the schools. <BR/>The numbers they reported at a recent board meeting on ssa discipline referrals were a fraud, on many levels. At schools system-wide, noncompliance is not enforced, and many of the schools that reported <BR/>"0-0-0" on the report (regarding reported infractions/ISS/OSS) were lying, as I have personal knowledge about many of those schools regarding students being pulled from class to serve time in ISS and/or being sent home over trivial attire issues. The report was provided as an attachment to the board agenda. <BR/><BR/>And now, mnps is exploring manning their own police force. As predicted, ssa is no help on the discipline front. Teachers should be freed from being fashion police; ssa should be a school-by-school policy. And mnps needs to stay out of the police business. Manning and training a police force should never be a part of Ralph Thompson's job description.Staying Under The Radarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765868734876894998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-86314549634580196282007-09-28T04:51:00.000-05:002007-09-28T04:51:00.000-05:00Kay -- everything in this district is under-report...Kay -- everything in this district is under-reported when it comes to violent episodes and uniform infractions. The checks and balances on the tests scores is the State of Tennessee report card. Tennessee even selected which kids could and could not answer the NAEP questions so its scores would look better. Hmmmm...so how can we believe anything of what we are being told about this district?din819gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148195871366562486noreply@blogger.com
