The media in Cleveland is owned by the NEA. THAT is why you are hearing about this.

The parents in THAT school chose the discipline. It’s like sending your child to a military school and saying that the kids need not follow the rules. If I’m lucky enough to win the lottery and have my child attend that school, damn straight I want all kids to follow the rules. That’s what I’m there for. If another parent wants their own rules, go to the district school and get out of the way for another child who wants to be there.
My reference to the media was with respect to folks assuming so much about the situation, not about why the story appeared.
The equation to a military school is a good one. Any parent CHOOSING a charter school (like a military school) should know going in that there are rules/dress codes/grade requirement that MUST be met.
