WaPo should frankly be banned from FR, but barring that they have a paywall, so please post alternative sources.
Dang. Do I really have to go the Washington Post website to find out?
From reading this, I get the impression that there is something big that this excerpt or the Washington Post is leaving out.
On the surface, this sounds completely inappropriate and one-sided. If that is all there is, of course someone should be punished.
I just think there is something else that isn’t evident here.
Any idea what that might be?
Headline: Young Boy Resists Required Feminization Process of Government School and is Arrested.
Who is “Crump?”
The nuns in my grammar school didn’t care what your backstory was or special needs were. You acted up, you got the ruler, or worse - the yard long pointer stick made of yew.
the boy needs to be in a BD school if he hits teachers. You can’t blame a teacher for this. Social workers let this one slip. Social workers are always there to tell every one what they did wrong while never being there when the kids explode.
Seems to me there should have been a better way to resolve this than cuffing him (albeit unsuccessfully) and telling him they were putting him in jail.
I feel for this sub I was a substitute teacher for a school year and I got thrown under the bus for an incident. One work day, I asked the principle if there were any students that I had that had any issues And I told that could not tell me due to privacy. A child in the class sat in his desk and did nothing but sit in his chair and not talk to anyone. He asked to go to the bathroom and I let him. I had a teaching aid in my class who got upset and told me he was a runner from school and I immediately called the office and they got him before he could leave. I went to the office and the principal apologized profusely that they do not tell me about him.
The child sat in a room watched by two police officers til one of his parents picked him up. This was a constant MO for this kid. The nasty part of this is that the parents were going through a divorce which I think was the reason for the child’s actions. The school tried to remove him from school into his parent’s care as they could not help him and the parents sued the district to keep him school. Totally a tragic situation.
How is this a bad thing? Showing this kid the consequences for his actions might keep him from becoming the kind of criminal rioting on the streets of Portland every night.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The cops are doing a “Scared Straight” on this kid to try and teach him about consequences. The comments on the video by leftist loons appalled by this tactic show why society is going down the toilet.
Glad they’re getting rid of those gang members.
Bezos is worth 88 skillion dollars and wants me to pay a dollar to read an article on his rag of a news paper...FO
I am not sure if the situation is a police issue or an issue with local law concerning such situations.
In my view the school should not have, nor been required by law to, call in the police, FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD.
The initial procedures should have been to notify the kids parents to pick him up, and then holding the kid in the principals office until the parents got there.
And the solutions must come from the parents and what they do in counseling the child, by themselves and/or with professionals. The solutions should not be dictated by the school, other than to say the kids behavior has to change. I am 100% against dictating detailed professional steps the parents must use. They can be told about them, but it should never be a legal requirement of the school to dictate them. The only goal of the school should be the kids behavior, not how the parents go about trying to improve it.
Teacher Karen went off with a boy student ALONE? Without another adult?
I thought that was a BIG NO NO.
When I was a kid I got busted for shoplifting and the shop owner called the police. When they came I asked the officer what was going to happen to me. He said, “You are probably going to go to jail.”
He put the fear of God in me with those words and I never shoplifted again.
In fact, I became good friends with the shop owner and he hired me to work in his store.

This would have been common practice in the “old” days. It was completely a lesson about how actions have consequences. The police officer and the teacher were doing their best to teach this young boy how to be responsible for his actions. Yet you can BET that there are going to be outraged leftists who cannot fathom that we should make ANYONE responsible for the consequences of their own actions.
