Secondly,
"Mr. Price said he initially encountered resistance. “I was cursed out so much, I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “And I’m talking about the parents.” "
Cursing would be the least of his worries!

You know, your right. What about these teacher unions. I wonder what the NEA's stance on cp is. I'll have to check that out.

Lucella, since teachers have a LOT of rights (and many are unionized), its possible these sorts of 'stand up (by admin) for what's right' dont take place for fear of backlash from the teachers that are 'pro' CP.

i hope legislative action will take away this whole chapter in all our schools.

great thinking, Lucella, you mean sort of like a 'principal with principles' list.

maybe we need a thread called POSITIVE PLUGS, for hightlighting the things that WORK, noting things well run , at all levels, parent group, school, AND admin level!

becuase reading these threads sometimes makes me get out the kleenex, xanax, paxil wellbutrin and anti hypertensive meds all at once!!! just kidding, i am anti-toxin (joke-smile-lol). i love my toxins in form of coffee and other foods of low nutritional value.
