1. It's how they promote charter schools

[SoCalNative]

3. Yes but another new law taking effect in CA

allows local districts more control over charters:

School districts will have more power over the creation of new charter schools in their communities, and new teachers at charter schools will be required to hold the same credentials as those in traditional public schools (with the requirement being phased in over five years for existing teachers).

[SoCalNative]

2. It is only up to grade 5

and grades 6-8 will only be in effect for 5 years, then is phased out.

4. There is a new API Dashboard for districts. Almost everyone was orange or red in suspensions.

Disobedience was apparently one of the factors driving the increase in suspensions.

5. OSS (out of school suspension) is a very poor discipline tool

Most of the time when a child acts out it’s because they can’t manage the situation they are in. Sending them home doesn’t teach them anything and rewards them for inappropriate behavior. Schools that include teaching mediation have dropped discipline referrals dramatically.

6. Discipline referrals have dropped because the bureaucrats and administration

don’t want them.

Teachers have to suffer with behavior problems in the classroom.

[Phoenix61]

7. That's not what research has found.

When children have a better way of managing their behavior, they will use it.

8. In Nashville and Memphis

charter schools are very popular even with those staunchly opposed to vouchers. Teaching has become a very difficult profession. Two good friends of mine gave up after 10 plus years due to discipline issues.

9. What ever it takes to destroy public education...

10. Without alternatives

I don’t know what to think. Reductions in suspensions is always a great idea, but I didn’t see anything offered as a different tool.

11. We could always put the disobedient kids in cages...

... until they're old enough for prison.

There would be good money in it, I'm sure of it.
