More Breaks?

Easing up on the disciplinary code in Chicago Public Schools:
  • As part of ongoing efforts to find alternatives to harsh discipline, CPS plans to stop suspending students for using cellphones in class, prohibit almost all suspensions in prekindergarten through second grade and make out-of-school suspensions for older students a "last resort."

    The proposed revisions to the discipline code, which also eliminate mandatory expulsions for students below sixth grade except for weapons infractions, will be voted on by Chicago's Board of Education at its monthly meeting Wednesday.

    The new code is intended to be more clear, preventing differences across the district over how disciplinary problems are handled, and to find ways to keep kids in the classroom. "Suspensions must be a last resort for any of our schools," said schools chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett in a briefing Monday.

    [...] The proposed discipline code now limits mandatory police notification to possession of firearms or drugs.
OK, suspensions for cell phone use is a bit over the top. Setting a lower age limit on suspensions makes sense - we can't charge kids under 9, why expel them? But eliminating expulsion for kids up to 6th grade is granting a lot of latitude to misbehavior. By the 6th grade, patterns of misbehavior have become ingrained and without some sort of sanction (expulsion) to have at hand, kids will rapidly learn that overly lenient discipline can be laughed off. You can see it downtown, and on the west and south sides.

Does the fact that the Chicago Public Schools are overwhelming minority in terms of its student population have anything to do with its discipline rates? It is sort of hard to compare discipline statistics when white students account for less than ten percent of the enrollment.

There would be fewer discipline problems in the schools if there were more more male teachers. Not metro-sexual weenies types either. The public education complex is dominated by female socialists who see boys as defective little girls who need to be medicated. Try hiring some MEN to give these boys the sorely needed mentoring and role models they need.
In every other profession "diversity" is the first requirement. Why not education? Why can a child go from kindergarten thru high school and have the only male teacher be the gym instructor? Is there a war on men in the education field?
Boys aren't failing school. Schools are failing the boys.
Teachers need to wake up and realize they are failing to properly serve half the future voting population. Why would I vote to increase education funding if it doesn't serve the interests of ALL my children.

If a child isn't in class, the school system cannot collect any state/federal money for the time the little urchin isn't in class. It's all about money and the school system doesn't want to loose a penny.

The parents should have to serve suspension time with the kids. Everything starts in the home. Requiring parent(s) to be parent(s) is the first step to eventually having a responsible child, who grows into an adult, who is an asset to him/her self and society.

If you expel or suspend them they don't fill a chair during attendance. The less body count during attendance equals less money from the federal government for funding the sweet angles.

Parents who can't afford the above option, VOTE for politicians who will hold public schools and their questionable teachers accountable, by offering vouchers for alternate, clearly better education options!!

As a school officer, in one the worst West Side high schools, THIS IS FUCKED UP NEWS. The CPS is already hamstrung in terms of any real disciplinary actions it can take against problem students. My partner & I constantly say "It's going to take a student killing a staff member or fellow student, inside of the school, before the Do-Gooder, Liberals get the message, that some kids are too damaged, and just too dangerous to be in a "normal" school setting. We've had a student and his gangbanger homies actually accost the principal as he walked to his car, after school, and threaten him. We locked him up. Month later, there he was, back in the fucking building. It wasn't long before he threatened to shoot security team members. We locked him up again. Sure as shit, there came his momma, raising hell,trying to stop the expulsion. At this point we took things into our hands, and let asswipe & momma know it was in his best interest not to return to that school, because now, "WE" (Police) were his problem. P.O.S. & momma got the message, and he transferred out.

Suspending kids from school is counter productive and just what the disruptive kids want. make it in-school suspensions, sent to special rooms for monitoring or after school hours. Expulsion for young kids? Really? What are you going to do with them? They need to be placed in alternative schools. Fining parents? Does not work. Most of the fines are not collected anyway. And, there are plenty of working single parents out there who are trying but cannot control a 12/13 years old and do not get any help from the city or state. These single parents need their money to survive. Make the kids do community service work instead. Punishing the parents does not work and that is proven.

Corporal punishment is no longer allowed. Why is anyone surprised that misbehaving students are completely unafraid of any punishment.

Suspending/expelling them for misbehaving has not proven to have much effect on correcting their behavior since they don't want to be in school anyway.

The money angle is a part of it as well. The schools get paid in part by how many students are in attendance.

I don't know that there is a real answer to the problem. For the most part, the Chicago schools are not really educating most of the students who attend. More like very expensive baby sitters.

Another ugly story from Englewood --

Tortured with fireworks: Cat found on South Side expected to make it

"A battered and bruised cat was hours from death when he was found on Chicago’s South Side this week. Animal shelter volunteers suspect the cat was intentionally harmed with fireworks.

"The cat was found at 57th and Elizabeth in Englewood a few days ago with injuries common with animal abuse.

"A volunteer from PAWS Chicago took the cat to the shelter where they named him Nicky.

"Nicky had injuries to his neck, leg and torso. PAWS suspects fireworks were involved. They believe Nicky was once a house cat not afraid of people and was easily led into the wrong arms.

"They encourage people to come forward and turn in animal abusers.

"In time Nicky’s should be ok and he will go into foster care and then perhaps adoption."

http://wgntv.com/2014/06/24/tortured-with-fireworks-cat-found-on-south-side-expected-to-make-it/

The TV story last night had more details -- the cat was apparently tied up, kicked, had its leg broken, and was then blasted with fireworks -- bad injuries all over. It was starved, and perhaps a few hours from death, when a very nice neighborhood resident, Shiquita Murray, picked it up and saved it, got it to where it could get help. She said she felt sorry for the cat, and loved animals.

Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Murray -- you are a bright light in a bad place.

Having been assigned to the schools for the past few years seen some of these student code of conduct go to shit. First and foremost schools are run like money making machines. The most important aspect of the day is ATTENDANCE, every student is a dollar sign. Suspensions are a fucking joke most of the time you get in school suspension again money matters. If you are label with some kind of god knows what you could only get suspended ten days a YEAR. SO, this label idiots do as they please and nothing happens. The social workers are fucking useless but once you lock up idiot they are in your office telling you if you don't feel sorry for little Johnny. Phones in schools are about 75% of the disturbances from phone stolen,lost,taken, using just fucking insane SHOULD BE BANNED from the building period. I, never denied a student a call to his/her parent from my office. Liberals are making the schools a social gathering not a place to learn. They were times when parents called my office wanting to know what was going on since Johnny text them from class. Thank god my daughter went to private school and I got my moneys worth. Nobody carries books, never no homework how do they make it to the next level. Oh, and if you showed up to class ON TIME SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE you got to go to what was called a NO TARDY PARTY great waste of taxpayers dollars. School system is set up to TEACH THIS GENERATION TO BE USELESS AND NO SELF DISCIPLINED JUST UNACCEPTABLE, BUT HEY LIBERALS KEEP running the school system to the ground its what you do best..............So sad how we are the number one power in the world but we rank 25th on reading and math yeah you are making the Chicago school system to be rank along those lines, or WORSE.

Do you know why this is happening right? Well a few years ago, a bunch of liberal white professors and the usual race baiters; Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc. noted that the majority of the kids being expelled from schools and suspended were blacks.

Recently, three sixth grade boys at Smyser on the northwest side setup a young female teacher so that one of them could take an up skirt photo of her. Long story short, the principal decided to downgrade the charges against the boys to the point there were no suspensions handed out, when even the others kids in the room knew exactly how many days the kids were supposed to receive due to the code of conduct. The teacher was young and new, and didn't want to make waves and jeopardize her position, so she let it go, while veteran teachers pushed the issue, the principal continued to deny what had really happened. So now, attacks on teachers appear to have become acceptable behavior as well.

...and once beyond school, in daily life, it is a simple fact that a man trying to go about his business will find himself dealing almost exclusively with women all day long -- on every phone, behind every counter. The emphasis seems more to be on denying services and obeying rules and enforcing some inarticulate notion of "fairness" than on GETTING THINGS DONE, on getting people what they need.

It is difficult.

Some of this has to do with the shift from a manufacturing economy -- "Part specification; diameter tolerance + .0001", - .0000"." Hard, precise things, not debatable.

Today's "service economy" speaks instead a corporate psycho-babble of "reinventing ourselves" and "mission statements" and "passion" and "teams." Words mean anything someone chooses to have them mean, and complex, productive skills that once took thirty years to master have now been replaced with binders full of jargon and "procedures" that almost anyone can parrot after a couple of weeks as a "customer service trainee."

As I said, it's difficult.

Off topic but the proposed gun range in niles that was talked about in a previous post is under fire from the 'gun store next to a school automatically means all kids will did from gun fire' people. Although one of the schools, niles west to be specific, which is allegedly walking distance is 1.3 miles from the proposed site of the gun store/range. According to google maps this is an estimated walk time of between 22 to 25 minutes. Is this walking distance, sure, but being familiar with the area it's not reasonable to think a student walking to school would walk past the gun store/range on a daily basis. This argument just makes no sense to a reasonable person. There is a second school in question that I have not researched but according to news reports is a special needs school. My guess is most of these kids lack the cognitive thought and gross motor skills to operate a firearm.

Video catches CTA driver breaking up fight: 'We got a weapon here?'

1:09 p.m. CDT, June 25, 2014

"The CTA driver walks briskly down the bus aisle, his voice calm and firm as he keeps saying, "Break it up, break it up."

"In a public transit system as large as Chicago’s, scuffles break out from time to time, and the first few seconds of the one captured on a cell phone video last Thursday are pretty routine. But what happens next isn't.

“We got a weapon here?” the driver asks, bending down and picking up a handgun from the floor. “Oh no, we ain’t going to have this. We ain’t going to have this. I need to call the cops now.”

"As he walks back to the front of the bus, gun in his hand, the driver remains composed as he shoos the apparent owner of the gun off his bus.

"You better go, you better go," he says, "We ain't going to have this. . .Get your stuff, get your stuff. You better go."

"By this time, the police have arrived and begin chasing the youth as he steps from the bus..."

Ignoramus, we didn't blame "all blacks."

Have you tried that argument on your fellow libtards demanding more gun control every time some asshole kills a bunch of people with a gun? You know - the part about lawful gun owners not having the bear the blame for criminal behavior of fools?

As to the ingrained behavior, Illinois law forbids the charging of children under 9 as they are assumed to lack the ability to make decisions regarding intent. We've seen smarter kids than that who can form intent at 4 and 5, but the law says otherwise. It is our experience that by age 9, most habits and behaviors are ingrained pretty deeply - study habits, waiting patiently for their turn at something, properly addressing peers and adults, obeying societal norms, etc. It's called "raising a child properly." Structure and discipline work wonders on children.

Bad thing about "in school" suspension, is that you end up with a bunch of the worst disciplinary students in the same room together, all day long. Doesn't take long for shit to jump off. And let's not even talk about when opposing gang factions cross paths in there. I'll cop to being old &things better when suspended meant OUT of the BUILDING. The fewer problem kids in the building, the better the education process goes for everyone else in the building. Whether some want to hear it or not, some kids are lost causes, and aren't interested in being saved. Those kids are usually easy to identify, early on.

The problem is public compulsory school. This means there are kids who don't want to be there, don't want to learn, find the conditioning rather than education a joke, or are bored due to the slowest ship in the fleet teaching methods.

That's the cause of disciplinary problems.

When this command-and-control 19th century Prussian system of education is dismantled and instead kids willing to learn are taught based on what they are interested in then things will get better.

Take it from a former knucklehead CPS student (and if it matters, yes, I am black) and a current CPS counselor, I didn't start acting like a dumbass until high school & I have witnessed hundrends, probably thousands of students perform major turn arounds. In grammar school I wasn't a straight A student but I frequently received 'Citizenship Awards', Honor Roll Awards here and there & was praised in parent teacher confrences for being a polite, quiet, & respectful student every year until I graduated 8th grade. HS came along made my grammar school years seem like I was now my evil twin. Eliminating expulsion for kids below 6th grade seems to be the only problem here, with no strong argument other than one commenter claiming 9 year olds are running around commiting horrific sex acts and shooting people. If 9 year olds are raping people CPS needs to step their security up. Some other comments mention the racial make-up of CPS and whether this has anything to do with what I assume to mean 'pleasing blacks'. I doubt it, seeing as I personally have yet to hear, see, or read anything about black or any other minority parents complaining about disciplnary "discrepancy" in CPS. Weapons infractions and physically assaulting administration should mean a automatic expulsion. Suspensions don't scare students anyway. What usually does is in-school suspensions, home visits (shouldn't be our responsibility to do this, but it does work to an extent and it isn't a requirement), and a suspension that requires a parent or gurdian to accompany the student back to school. Of course none of what I mentioned has a 100% guranteed success rate. No different than the Justice system I'd say.

@0133:

Superior education AND MORALS at Catholic school?!?!?! LOLOLOL you should do shows at Second City. I grew up with and went to college with guys and girls from Seton, Carmel, De La Salle, Rice, Rita, Hales, Marian, McAuley and a few others. On top of that, I was in parochial school for most of my K-12 education, only 5.5 years of those in magnet programs at CPS. While public schools will generally have the worst kids they HAVE to take everybody in, the kids are generally the same. The broken homes and poor parenting are the same. What's different is the classroon sizes, the level of care, the facilities and the discipline. A better learning environment? Absolutely. Superior academics and morals...not from my experiences. My public school had national debate champions and sent several people to top tier schools. By far it was better than my parochial school but it had the gangs, guns, dope that accompany public schools. That's the major difference.

CPS says suspension are for cell phones.

That is an outright lie. Suspensions IF not swept under the rug are never for cell phones, but often for violations such as drugs, physical assaults, robbery, threats to staff and students, etc.

You all know our hreat narcotic unit with close to roo do nothings and think they work like Miami Vice are responsible for crime waves throught the city.
They bag one pimpie kid for delivery and their day is done.
If they ever went after the big weight shot with stop.
But they were trained by the likes of that former iniot wonder boy, Cmdr O'Grady.
They do not know shit about getting good informants in any degree. The white shirts there are even worse and have no sense of leadership in the drug wae.
The department should throw 80 percent of them back to a beat car ASAP. They serve no purpose working narcotics.
A PPO with a week in 007 would do quite better.
No qomder the CPD budget is gone in a New York second. Rental cars and gas for all these super police.

Very important information for anyone living on the Northwest side.



The City via Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Alderman John Arena are attempting to destroy Milwaukee Ave by turning it into a two lane street from Foster Ave to Devon Ave. This will cause horrible congestion, loss of parking and the loss of what few businesses remain.


This will be the end of Alderman John Arena and Mayor Rahm Emmanuel.



There is a meeting being held to protest this outrage on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 from 5 to 8p.m. at the Copernicus Center located at 5216 W Lawrence Ave. There is free parking!



Tell everyone who lives in the neighborhood to come out and voice their opposition to this madness!



They are going to destroy the city but we can at least try and hold on to our neighborhood!


Maybe SCC will make this a post? The greenies in Logan Square are attempting to close Milwaukee Ave off in favor of a sidestreet diversion and a garden. This is all for UN Agenda 21!

Speaking of CPS school policies. Has anyone ever listened to zone 10 on 2nd watch and heard that Fool 1020/1070? Every minor school incident he makes into a major cluster. Hearing him tell everyone that "I am in command of the situation and have all those officers under my command get here asap". He comes over the radio like he is a 5 Star General appointed by congress yet he sounds like a complete Fool every time he opens his mouth.Now he is grooming the new Princess Sgt to take his coveted 1020/1070 car when he retires soon for his mission to central america. And i hear the new Sgt is following his lead with trying up the air with nonsense. He is going there to diffuse the Situation with his wealth of experience(jibba-Jabber)from the west side.
Soon there will be air time on zone 10 when he hangs up his radio.

Apart from the country clubs and privilege academies, the CPS schools are nothing, but trouble for most Chicagoans. In many tolerable neighborhoods which have not yet declined into ghettos, the trouble within the communities relates to the schools where punks have been bussed to be educated. Very few residents actually use the CPS, so outsiders are enrolled. Litter, vandalism and crime usually can be traced straight back to the CPS.

The thing with kids and growings and getting learnings and stuff is that... You can't lie to them. Basically, if you wanna tell the children they can't do something they're gonna want to do it more. When I was young I did all kinds of greasy sheet and I turned out wicked. That's because my dad was funkin cool, he let me do sheet. I was allowed to smoke 6 paper joints, party on liquor and he let me grow dope in his shed in grade 7. You know, that's what good parenting is all about. You gotta let them have a bit of freedom. I mean its not rocket surgery or nothin.

I knew there would be one of these.

The man was a BUS DRIVER, not an armed policeman. He still broke up a fight, recovered a deadly weapon, and kept other innocent passengers safe by talking the offender off the bus (into the arms of the police who he had summoned.)

Walks tall in my book. Don't know if I could say that about you.

You probably have no idea what some of these guys could do with that heavy old metal transfer punch in their fist. Have to have been around -- oh, maybe Chicago? -- a while to have seen it.

To the unpublished:

You don't have to be a psychiatrist to pay attention while raising a child. We've done it several times and kids are way smarter than you seem able to give them credit for.

As for the "racist!" charge you so casually toss about, again, prove it. Cite an example. We'll wait here while you search....

....didn't find any, did you? That's charge the tiny brains toss about to stifle debate and intimidate logical discourse...like Obama defenders do all the time.

Reminds me of working Cabrini around the 4th of July and the little monsters are all shooting off fireworks and roman candles at each other. Alleged parents are doing their parenting from the windows above. "Hey poleese, why don't you do sumpfin" But they wouldn't get off their fat asses to take charge of their kids, they give the kids the fireworks. And the little monsters just look at the police like we parachuted from Mars when we tell then to stop with the fireworks. Racist cops stopping their fun. I smile every time I drive past now and see the flat prairie, not high rise ghetto.

"We've seen smarter kids than that who can form intent at 4 and 5..." -- SCC

Robert "Yummy" Sandifer (March 12, 1983 — September 1, 1994)

"Yummy was known for bullying and extorting money from local children and the community in the Chicago neighborhood of Roseland. He liked luxury cars such as Lincoln and Cadillac and, remarkably, was able to drive them despite his small stature. Many of his 23 felonies and 5 misdemeanors were committed in the course of running errands for street gangs. The penal system had no way to keep him out of trouble and the courts were helpless to lock him away because he was too young for juvenile detention and too dangerous to be placed with children his age.

"On August 28, 1994, Sandifer began harassing locals from his neighborhood. He opened fire several times with a 9 millimeter semiautomatic pistol, striking several youths. Sandifer quickly fled the scene. Shavon Dean, age 14, later died from her gunshot wounds. The crime spree made national headlines. The nation was shocked by the brutality of the crime and the fact that the alleged perpetrator was only 11 years old. The Chicago Police began a manhunt for Sandifer. According to Sgt. Ronald Palmer, of the Chicago Police, Sandifer's actions were a gang initiation gone wrong. On, Wednesday, August 31, while still in hiding, Sandifer was met by brothers Cragg and Derrick Hardaway, ages 16 and 14, members of the Black Disciples street gang. Sandifer was told he was being taken some place safe and ordered into a waiting car. Instead, he was brought to an viaduct underpass and told to get on his knees. While on his knees, he was shot twice in the back of his head..."

...in the complete absence of any sane family structure...

"Sandifer's mother, Lorina Sandifer, had a history of over 30 misdemeanor arrests, many of which were drug related. Sandifer's father, Robert Akins, was absent for all of Sandifer's life due to incarceration. Sandifer was, according to child welfare authorities, severely mistreated and neglected. Before he was 3, Sandifer was already known to Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Sandifer was alleged to have had cigarette burns on his arms and neck as well as linear bruising consistent with physical beatings. In 1986, Sandifer and his siblings were removed from his mother's home by DCFS and were sent to live with their grandmother. His grandmother's residence contained as many as 19 children on some occasions. By most accounts, his grandmother's home was not much better than Sandifer's previous home. Sandifer, by the age 8, quit attending school and began to roam the streets stealing cars and breaking into houses...."
