Keep 'em,
ReplyDeleteAbout damn time somebody is actually held accountable for their actions!
ReplyDeleteGood work! Let the justice system discipline these ghetto thugs. The board of education doesn't have the stones.
ReplyDeleteActually they probably got more days out of school from suspension than the justice of the courts gave them. My question is....... why is this a press release?
DeleteProbation before judgement=Nothing. Once probation is over, they get their record expunged. They did not have to serve the 10 days. They would've been in more trouble for being caught with an open beer.
ReplyDeletesounds like a great learning facility. when did they add boxing to school sports
ReplyDeleteJAIL IS WERE THEY SHOULD BE FOR 6 MOS AT LEAST
ReplyDeleteTurn these so called schools into reform schools..let school vouchers decide where our tax dollars go
ReplyDeleteDear Readers,
ReplyDeleteWe have all read on this site about behavioral concerns in the Wicomico County Schools. To that end, quite a bit of public opinion was shared about school disciplinary issues, and the continued, and willful disobedient and dangerous activities some students have been engaging in since the start of the school year.
Many have lamented that school officials and teachers were either unable or unwilling to take action. This action by the courts is welcomed and very appropriate as 'out of control youth' continue to act in wanton disobedience endangering all students and staff.
Many have commented regarding solutions to this continuing problem, and the lackluster response from central office administration and direction. Further, the recent meetings held to address this issue was a very typical administrative response in Wicomico County. As I watched the remarks from the Superintendent, I wondered how much of what was shared reflected any true direction. To that end, the only action that the school system should take is to have every student involved in events like this immediately removed and charged. Teachers have been given many directives over the years including some truly inane ones this year that force teachers to take unreasonable steps and document those actions prior to an administrative referral. This simply fans the flames of a growing problem.
While I support reasonable steps for classroom teachers to take preventative actions prior to referrals, what they are being asked to do is entirely unreasonable. There are several very serious issues occurring in several elementary schools alone that are simply shocking. I am unable to divulge details, but the point is that the disciplinary steps at all of the schools are inadequate, and show a complete disregard for student and staff safety, and lack any real leadership direction from the central office. To this end, the only solution that will work is a zero tolerance policy regarding behavioral issues along with expedient and direct action by law enforcement with school personnel having students charged.
Dr. Hanlin - your schools are out of control - your teachers and, in some cases, your administrators are discouraged from charging students. Stop having summits and charge your school administrators with the responsibility to have students arrested and charged. Period.
The root of this problem is very poor parenting, which cannot be legislated. Charging students and getting the message across to all students is the only answer.
Regards,
Paladin
Unfortunately, thanks to the DOJ calling all of us racist and trying our hands, there's actually nothing teachers and administrators can do. People need to fight for the truth and help het the bad seeds out. Bring in more alternative school choices. Or here's an idea, once they're 16, age of consent to actually quit school on their own, and they're doing this dumb stuff, kick them out. Let them see what real life is like. Or here's another one, no high school education, continuing education, whether college or trade, no welfare. I don't care how many babies you have. Here's another one, if you're on welfare and you have kids and they act like this, take their check. If you're a student on welfare and you act like this, take their check. You have to hit them where it counts if you want them to fall in line...and it's for ALL races. Why is it the kids who want to learn get screwed over by the small amount who don't? You wonder why teachers are apathetic and don't put effort into it. They're over all the bureaucratic bull shit and not being able to do their job, TRACH, not raise and take care of some people's kids. Dr. Hanlin needs to be replaced with someone who is willing to fight and prove that the DOJ is wrong and know nothing of what goes on here. Let them come and teach in our schools for a day...BRS, Pemberton, Prince St., Pinehurst, Chipman, W. Salisbury, E. Salisbury, Glen Ave, plus the middle and high schools! Stop talking down on teachers/administrators, we can only do so much. Put the blame where it needs to be, the shitty parents who don't raise their kids and this is the outcome. The parents who push their kids to become pregnant so they can get more welfare. The ones who teach them to disrespect school staff because they're not the same color. The parents who encourage their kids to he in gangs! That's what we're dealing with. Then the DOJ co.es in and says we're racist! No we're not, I call bull shit and a spade a spade.
DeleteYes, yes, yes! This IS the reality of the situation!
DeleteDear 5:28,
DeleteYou are completely on point regarding this, and I appreciate your candor. Educating students under the best of conditions is hard enough without having to deal with chronically poor parenting and support. I also understand your frustration and exasperation in attempting to teach with so many discipline factors weighing against you and every educator in the county.
Kind regards,
Paladin
Another example of making the cat walk on the keyboard to come up with a "Ja'uniq" first name. Priceless. I'm sure they have very bright futures.
ReplyDeleteWho are you to judge a name... oh your PRIVLEGED Huh...stop these ways and judgments and help a community become better!
DeleteIt's not judgment...it's a stupid name. And we wonder why kids can't spell on know how letters go together and make proper sounds!
DeleteThis shouldn't have happened to young growing kids, when kids are bullying and forcing these kids to defend themselves and teachers doing nothing but buying drugs and sexually assaulting these kids. You overdue everything when it comes to a certain race. Stop picking and choosing what you want to blow up and fIND WHO ARE KIDNAPPING AND HURTING THESE KIDS....
Delete8:41 - please re-read your comment. It makes no sense at all.
Delete3:09 Help the community get better? Look I don’t agree with 2:12 comment but damn honey it’s not up to the community to raise these kids (and I use the term kids loosely). It’s up to their parents. Geez put the blame where the blame lies 🙄
DeleteGlad to see the punishment. Way over due.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Liz Day?? She needs to be held accountable
ReplyDeleteAgree. Don't want no double standard.
DeleteGood job Judge. Keep it up! The citizens of Wicomico County back you up or shall I shall the taxpayers of Wicomico County.
ReplyDeleteGood Job?? You can’t be serious!
DeleteGood job! How? This is a discriminatory town, find who put all that racist crap at the University
DeleteOften the "racist crap" as you call it is a hoax...
DeletePBJ really ?.. might as well give them a PB & J sandwich this is a nothing!
ReplyDeleteExpelled and juvie that will teach everyone!
Send them to jail and let them get a taste of what a thug has in their future.
ReplyDeleteFYI YOU ARE ALL PISSING UP A ROPE..ONLY SOLUTION. get government out of education, Disolve the BOE AND GIVE US SCHOOL VOUCHERS. We can fix this but dont count on the corrupt useless system curently stealing and wasting our tax dollars.
ReplyDelete@2:44pm
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!!!
@3:31
Too late for that!....double standard on FULL display....I'm sorry...a teacher....Salisbury Mayor's wife, Liz Day attempting to "buy" drugs from a student(s)....HOW IN THE WORLD IS THIS (AT THE VERY LEAST) NOT DISTURBING SCHOOL ACTIVITIES????....Please help me understand the blatant sweep on this one!
Paladin, very well put. The swamp needs draining there too!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is exactly disturbing school activities? 10 days incarceration? So not only are we paying for them to be in jail but they still have to be taught? There has to be a more meaningful way to implement consequences without the cost and now labeling this kids as convicts. Guess what the chances they will be back in jail has doubled instead of rehabilitation and changing the behavior. Please tell me this is not a result of the task force the BOE created .
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: I don’t know why the most effective solution is totally overlooked. All of these problems would be alleviated if students were separated into groups based upon their particular cultural needs. It is so obvious that the current model that has been totally unsuccessful since the early 1960s but the cultural Marxist democrats are determined to destroy our country from within and that means to sow discontent through the ranks of students and faculty until the whole thing collapses. It is a program that they have implemented and most of us are so poorly informed that they have been highly successful up to this point. President trump has made some improvements by throwing out some of the stupid Ocongo policies, however after fifty years, there is a long way to go. Refute my comment. I’m willing to listen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the fascination with having an apostrophe and a Q in every name?
ReplyDeleteThose Amish folks come up with some wacky names.
ReplyDelete@156 No Paladin, the root of the problem is not bad parenting, the root of the problem is professional busy bodies who stuck there amusingly long noses in the business of everyone else to the point any type of physical discipline by the parents was made illegal. Now the undisciplined children are in the schools system and the parents hands are tied. Step down off of your soapbox if you don't mind, thank you.
ReplyDelete@8:04 Exactly!! Let parents whip their kids ass on sight and I bet the problem will stop. Stop trying to parent other peoples kids. Now, Liz Day damn sure disturbed the school. What she get?
