Cabral has signed to the bill I've linked below. If it becomes law, good luck having any discipline in your school building. Cabral believes a student should have an attorney present before suspensions, and each meeting regarding the discipline of a student to be recorded. Get ready to lawyer up as we invite the wolf into the hen house.
I agree with the last. The last thing we need is another lawyer as as mayor. Tony at least respects teachers. The other guy didn't bother to respond to the nbea survey.
The bill refers to suspensions of more than ten days only and allows, not mandates, options for representation. Read it if you are going to make claims about it.
I have read H178. Providing additional protections for students who habitually offend at school will push more of our veteran teachers into early retirement. Requiring administrators to provide a list of free legal advice and/or educational advocates, no more than 10 suspensions for any student unless it is a 37H or 37H 1/2 offense. To those unfamiliar with 37H and 37H 1/2, a student has to have a weapon, drugs, SERIOUS violent behavior or felony charges. Those who believe that the protections provided by H178 are appropriate, take a look at bullying, most of those behaviors WILL NOT be 37H or 37H 1/2 behaviors. Good luck protecting your students against such offenses, particularly when a student is expected to lawyer-up and throws this in the face of their teachers following their disciplinary action. Truthfully,99% of our students come to our classrooms everyday to learn. Sadly, H178 will insure that the 1% of habitual school offenders will be empowered to challenge then destroy our student's code of conduct, rob precious learning time, impacting student and staff safety for decades to come. Many of our teachers in lower grades do not see such behaviors often, but when they do, want something done about it. Problematic student behavior is the #1 issue many of our teachers say is impacting their ability to reach students with powerful learning experiences. People today lament of days passed when something meaningful was done to effectively address serious student behavior issues. All I can say is get used to a new world order if H178 becomes law.
Cabral should teach in our 32 student classes, not for publicity , but for months.then see how eager he is to defend the 1% that try to destroy the classroom environment. Honestly, I really resent these fools who have never taught trying to dictate the rules of education. Step inside our world then talk to us.

Who do you people want to be Mayor?
Tony is the safest bet.

I'm with Cabral.
Mitchell is tired fom traveling to Boston so now he wants to be Mayor. I think it takes more then that to lead the city.
Anyone but Morad for mayor. That woman can't stand public employees.
Cabral for Mayor.

Cabral has signed this bill. This will destroy all discipline in schools. Read it please, scariest legislation to come our way in generations.
Tony for mayor. He cars about the teachers and the students .
Canbral for mayor . As far as the last post, all students have the right to have legal representation before a suspension as rendered.
The bill refers to suspensions of more than ten days only and allows, not mandates, options for representation. Read it if you are going to make claims about it.
