Mouthing off in class or failing to follow a teacher’s instructions will no longer lead to suspension in Oakland schools, a ban that will be phased in and be fully in effect just over a year from now, the school board unanimously decided Wednesday night.
Oakland Unified will become one of a handful of California school districts that restrict suspensions to more serious offenses and eliminate the punishment for willful defiance — a broad category of misbehavior that includes minor offenses such as refusing to take a hat off or ignoring teacher requests to stop texting and more severe incidents like swearing at a teacher or storming out of class. San Francisco and Los Angeles are also among those districts.
The state already bans suspension for willful defiance from kindergarten through third grade, and Oakland’s decision extends it through high school.

Bull. It will just allow/force teachers to sit back and stop teaching all together. Primary goal will be to make it out of school each day without getting assaulted or killed.
Well, that’s all she wrote.
Who would want to be a teacher in today’s blue areas?
I won’t send my children to a school that is not orderly, and many parents of all races with the means to do so will pull their children out of disorderly schools. Leftists will bewail “segregated schools” but not ask what they have done to create them.
So if they willfully defy a request to say, be quiet, or sit still in class, they will be permitted to continue that behavior? If they willfully defy a request to take a test, will they just get a little pat on the back, “it’s okay... we have not really taken into account what might cause you to behave this way....” ?
This is nuts.
A classroom cannot be controlled if insubordination isn’t a reason for immediate removal from class. Policies such as this are insanity.
What wonderful adults these little darlings will make.
and who would want to be a student?
certainly no kid that actually wants to learn something in the classrooms where the inmates are in control of the asylum
But, I’m assuming you can still get expelled for wearing an NRA T-shirt.
Our current system churns out not Aristotles but Trayvons.
And it’s all according to plan.
So plan to buy more ammo soon.
we don't want to kill our enemy, we want to “understand” them
now the Tea Party?
Well, killing about 25 million of them would be a good start to building a more progressive society (per obama friend Bill Ayers)
LOL!
Or putting an American flag bumper sticker on your car
Or complaining when a cross-dressing man uses the girls locker room
No, a teacher can send them to the office.....let the administrators deal with them.
Who in the world would teach there? Even before this stupid regulation, but especially after?
“Student Dan’enicole Williams, a McClymonds High School sophomore, said the ban will force educators and administrators to focus on why students are behaving a certain way rather than just suspending them.”
...
I focused for awhile on the chart posted with the article. Didn’t take long to figure it out.
And then we’ve got Obozo out there smearing people who want to keep their own children out of these thug and zombie factories, the government indoctrination centers/criminal-in-training babysitters. He and his cohorts on the left are really working hard to get that jackboot in every face, trying to shut off every avenue we come up with to stay away from it.
“Student Dan’enicole Williams, a McClymonds High School sophomore, said the ban will force educators and administrators to focus on why students are behaving a certain way rather than just suspending them.”
How about a slap up the side of Dan’enicole’s head and then let him/her figure it out.
A lot of people; they are our upper middle class here in NJ. They make a ton of money, despite the fact that on one of our welfare reservations (Paterson NJ) they recently had about twenty high school graduates adequately prepared for college...
“Dan’enicole”
What kind of parents think randomly combining two first names with an apostrophe is a good idea?
