OK, my wife is a schoolteacher in one of the city's inner middle schools.
About a month ago they had a student stab and slash another student with a small knife. Not a very big knife, and didn't cause anything near life threatening injuries. Only 3-4 stitches I believe. And no, it isn't Capitol Hill, that is a high school. Anyways, you would think that the kid would be expelled, or sent to an alternative education school, right. WRONG! The kid is still in school! Better yet, the principal WANTS to expell the kid, or send them to alternative education, but the half wits at the central office will not permit it.
See the child is special ed, so the mother would have to sign for the child to go to alternative education, and the mother refuses to sign the document. The half wits special education supervisors, won't permit the child to be expelled because the kid is special ed.
It is no wonder that school administrators have so much trouble disciplining in their schools, the administrators above them have their hands tied. I can only see violence getting more and more frequent in schools until something is done about the current administration. The problem is not the schools, they want to provide a good and safe place for kids to learn. It is the people that work at 900 N Klein that are causing the problem, not to mention the huge salaries that some of these people draw. Some of them are absolutely ridiculious.
Sorry, I will step down from my soapbox now. I am just aggravated over the whole OKCPS school district.
