I bet this school has plenty of violence problems that they don't want the public to know about. If this is the case here, the school can be labeled "persistently dangerous" under NCLB and the students given the opportunity to bail out, thus taking money with them. An administrator would rather have his school listed as a failure than persistently dangerous. "Persistently dangerous" is a career killer.
Maybe Mom should file a complaint with the Federal Department of Education's Civil Rights Division. The school hasn't done enough to rectify this situation and heads should roll.
Amazing how some administrators think they can shove incidents like this under the rug. Must be stupid, arrogant, or both.
I swear, I think all parents should be given a pamphlet on how to deal with ignorance within the school district. Your advice should be one of the options for resolutions...excellent idea!
You can draw some pretty sound conclusions when the school is named Martin Luther King. Rev. King would be appalled by the atrocities his name is attached to.
You are Correct. This fear from NCLB is making schools more dangerous rather than safer.
