Re: Paul Pastorek wants to put violent students back in scho
Posted by bewildered on 4/08/08

    From the standpoint of a teacher, that is not relevant. It is
    beyond my immediate concern, which is the safety and education of
    my students. I want violent and disruptive students removed from
    my classroom. The other students deserve it. Don't you think so?

    Now beyond that, if they are so violent or disruptive that they
    cannot even be placed in an alternative school, then they need to
    be placed in the custody of the state in some form, either into
    the juvenile justice system or social services system.

    There are some students, particulary at the high school level, who
    simply should not be allowed back into any public school setting.

    As for that story, it may have scrolled off the main pages into
    the archives. You can research it yourself or look for House
    Bills regarding school discipline at the Louisiana Legislature web
    site, most authored by Mr. Trahan.
