I can only imagine how far this will put some student's behind.]]> 2019-09-17 04:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/385070466 bulgermm https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/385070850 Not much evidence has been found that the zero tolerance policies (mandated, pre-determined consequences) have benefitted students. "Moreover, zero tolerance policies may negatively affect the relationship of education with juvenile justice and appear to conflict to some degree with current best knowledge concerning adolescent development."]]> 2019-09-17 04:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/385070850 bulgermm https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/385071621 The statistics in this video shows the alarming rates of suspension. The speaker argues that children are being suspended for typical child-like behaviors. The children being suspended in pre-school (3x the amount of K-12 combined) and childcare (infants and toddlers) are so young they probably have not yet developed the skills to comprehend what suspension is. Nineteen percent of the pre-school population is made up by African American children, yet they account for half of all suspensions. Does this really benefit the children, or does it just make life easier on the teachers?]]> 2019-09-17 04:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/385071621 bulgermm https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/386338313 This school social worker explains his beliefs that it is a professional and ethical duty of the people working in schools to stop kicking kids out for nonviolent behaviors. He expresses the importance of keeping kids in school versus out on the streets at risk. Are these kids skipping school because they are scared and feel unsafe, and in turn being forced to miss more school? He challenges us to consider the conditions these children are coming from and to help make it better. My favorite quote from this TED talk is "by kicking kids out we are punishing protective biological responses that are colliding with a classroom environment that WE have not equipped to handle."]]> 2019-09-19 02:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/386338313 bulgermm https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/386339766 Is suspension enabling racism and allowing discrimination? Oppressed groups of people are being suspended at alarming rates- young black girls are the most likely to be suspended. Also, students with disabilities are being suspended at an alarming rate as well.]]> 2019-09-19 02:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/386339766 bulgermm https://padlet.com/bulgermm/gzm5nn47p0gj/wish/386340261 This article sheds a light on a problem but because the population of Native American children is so insignificant, it is overlooked that they are being suspended at extreme rates.
