Dear Phillip Malloy, I’m sorry that you see me as out to get you since the first week of school. I’m am also sorry if you can no longer do track because of your grades, but if you would have asked for extra work or help I could have given you more help or more time to complete assignments.. I felt as though I was doing a good job and giving you fair grades for your work. Lets forget about that and talk about recent happenings. I don’t think that you singing the “ Star Spangled Banner” is appropriate during my hour for several reasons. This is because there is a rule about being quiet while the playing, and it is a disturbance to the other children that are here to learn. I only sent you out of the classroom because your actions were an interruption …show more content…
to my teaching. I feel as though you were purposely trying to disrupt my time from my job and that my actions were necessary. I think that going to the press, reporters, and the newspaper ect. was an invasion of personal problems that could have been dealt with without all the fuss. I hope that you Phillip Malloy know that the so called facts you gave the reporters and the newsman is not correct; if you would like to know what I think or even if you don't this is the truth. I feel as though you are immature and just want the attention. Please know that if you purposely lied to the press etc. I will have a law suite against with my close friend as Judge, Judge Jenna. Sincerely, Ms. Margaret Narwin Dear Gertrude Doane, I am sorry about the problems that we have had with the Phillip Malloy boy.
I know that my actions were acceptable because I used the standard disciplinary actions (which all teachers are required to use). If you feel as though you should fire me for following the rules, in which this boy didn’t, then you are making a mistake. I know that all the mail and other things coming addressed to me at the school is inappropriate, but I could not control that. There have been several people who have thrown bricks through my window, some say under your request. Alought that may or may not be true I have no reason to believe it unless you give me a reason to believe it. I hope I am correct with the following. In the morning the staff member that does the announcements that morning, will say please stand with respectful quietness for the playing of the “ National Anthem”. This is the true story of the incident. Phillip Malloy started to hum/sing more less singing the “ National Anthem” during the announcements. On the first day I asked him to stop he did eventually after being reluctant On the second and third occurrence he didn’t stop, so I sent him to Joseph Palleni. He was to deal with the disturbance. Joseph later told me he suspended not expelled Phillip Malloy, although I said that wasn’t necessary. Now Philip Malloy’s father not the boy himself went to the press (which I recently found out after I sent a letter to the boy himself). Then the man Ted Griffin, and the reporter …show more content…
Jennifer Stewart spread the news nationally. That caused a disturbance to a little problem that we could have fixed .ourselves. Sincerly, Peg Narwin Dear Ted Griffin, As of today you don’t know the whole story of what happened.
You only know one man's opinion or story and he wasn’t even involved in the incident. This man is Philip Malloy’s father Mr. Benjamin Malloy. As if that wasn’t enough you went and told reporters and made it go county wide. You also created a big problem with the school board and with my boss Gertrude Doane. If that is how you wish things to be then continue on with the rumors and things you don't know the truth about. I hope that you change your ways, and that you stop having meetings. I also suggest that you don’t try going for part of the school board I say those things because I have been told by one of the other members that you have been backing up Philip Malloy and his father Benjamin. For you’r own sake I hope you resign from trying for the school board. You also made a problem for me and the Harrison School System. You made sure the school budget wasn’t passed, there was over one thousand that didn’t want the budget to pass. Now the school has asked me to resign from my job from there school district. This way they don’t have to pay for me and the teaching class I was going to take this summer. If you feel that you are doing what is right for you, the school, the school board, and the community then please continue. Thank you for your
consideration. Sincerly, Margaret Narwin.
Facts: The Louise Lombard School is a developmental center for disabled children in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). It is here that seventeen-year-old John Doe, an emotionally-disturbed student assaulted another student. According to his April 1980 IEP, Doe had several goals set for coping with frustrating situations and relating to his peers. During the incident in November, Doe reacted to the taunts of other students by choking another student and leaving abrasions on the child’s neck. While being escorted to the principal’s office, Doe also kicked out a school window. The principal suspended Doe for five days. During his suspension, the Student Placement
This case involved a public high school student, Matthew Fraser who gave a speech nominating another student for a student elective office. The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government. While giving the speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in what the school board called "elaborate, graphic, and explicit metaphor." After his speech, the assistant principal told Fraser that the school considered the speech a violation of the school's "disruptive-conduct rule." This prohibited conduct that interfered with the educational process, including obscene, profane language or gestures. After Fraser admitted he intentionally had used sexual innuendo in the speech, he was told that he would be suspended from school for three days, and his name would be removed from the list of the speakers at the graduation exercises.
Phillis Wheatley letter to Reverend Samson Occom strongly expressed freedom and religious self-rule. Wheatly respected what Occom stated about the natural rights for negroes. She wanted the letter to change the major conflicts. It was a challenge between defending slavery and gaining it, that was the pin-point. On the other hand, a few years later Lamuel Haynes wrote the document, Liberty Further Extended. Haynes hoped that freedom for the Africans would take place. He wanted to expose conflicts to show just because of our color it should not decrease our right to freedom. In both of the documents I feel the authors voiced hope in things that could change, like colored people having freedom and religious self-rule. Wheatley and Haynes pointed
The superintendent and principal are stymied in their efforts to reach a compromise as Mrs. Durnitz refuses to change her position that the policy must be followed to the letter. She appealed to the teachers’ association for support when it appeared that the administration and board might not uphold her position. The local newspap...
“Marvin L.Pickering, a high school science teacher in Illinois wrote a letter published in a newspaper denouncing the board of education's choice of allocating of funding between athletics and academics, he also criticized the superintendent who did not inform the local taxpayers why they were actually paying more for the school. After posting the letter, the high school teacher was fired because the board claimed that he delivered false information that could affect the efficiency of the school administration, it damage the reputation of the board of education and of its superintendent and that it could possibly encourage “controversy, conflict, and dissension” between the school staff "Detrimental to the best interests of the schools"(Findlaw.com, I) . Pickering decided to sue the school for violating his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights to free speech and of equal protection because he claimed that he has the right to free speech and is allowed the same rights as everybody else.“
For so long Dave’s teachers noticed something was not right with him. He would misbehave, come to school with bruises and lie. The teachers, administration and nurses finally caught on to what was going on at Dave’s house and reported the issue immediately. When Dave and his mother were questioned by administration, his mother would lie about his injuries; Dave would lie as well because he knew if he did not, the beatings would get a lot worse. Therefore, the school did not report anything to authorities. I believe that if a teacher notices a sign of abuse, administration should go above and beyond to figure out what is going on. They should also get the child immediate help. Children are not born to misbehave in such a way as stealing food from other children. There has to be a reason behind their actions and teachers should watch closely. This could change a child’s life forever. This also could give that child a second chance for a better
While watching the Uniondale School Board of Education meeting this was something very interesting. The people that attended this meeting where the school board members, the superintendent, the student member, business affairs and people from the local community. The people the present was the student member, two school board members and a couple people from the community. There were a couple things that the board talked about and the members of the community. Something that was very interesting at this board meeting was that the members of the board had a student member by the name of Campbell present during the meeting. Campbell raised a concern about the segregation that is happening in Long Island. She mentioned how she and other people
“We question why this trustee is working against the students he is supposed to represent...the call to remove politicitions who are no longer meeting the needs of the people they represent [is a time honored tradition]...we the board to start removal pocedures against this individual.”
Teacher- That is quite alright. It's understandable. I will make this as brief as possible since school starts in 30 minutes. I assume you have to go to work as well.
“Principals must be able to balance the school’s interest in maintaining a safe and orderly environment against the rights of individual students to be free from unreasonable discipline” (Hachiya, Shoop, and Dunklee, 2014, p. 145). This is a delicate balance to be sure, but one that is the responsibility of an administrator. Students have constitutional rights to free speech and expression, as well as the right to due process. This is very true with suspension and expulsion. Due process is very important here as well. A hearing must be held, and all parts of the Pupil Fair Dismissal Act must be followed.
At lunch a kid was singing a song from his favorite band and he was wearing a shirt from his favorite band. Lisa was trying to do her homework and she couldn’t focus. Lisa was not disrupted by his t shirt it was the singing that bothered her the most. In the lunchroom Kyle had to sit alone since his best friend was not at school. He was not at school because he had a band t shirt on and he got suspended. Kyle that day at lunch was depressed, he had no one to talk to so he sat by himself.Then the principle banned the music t shirt since it was a problem. Even though this still could happen this year, it all happened last
I am writing to you all to recommend my colleague and friend Wilson Adubasim. Not only has he been the most hard working employee, but a great person to turn to in the time of need.
...calm quiet tone Miss Allen states, “I don’t appreciate it when students pass notes when I am giving a presentation. It shows a lack of respect towards me, which is our number one class rule. This is the second time I have had to speak with you about this so I will have to deduct points from your participation grades. I don’t like doing this because you are such good students most of the time but that is the consequence we decided on as a class. Is there a reason why you were passing notes?” The students reply no and they apologize. “I accept your apology and please remember that if this happens again I’m going to have to call your parents (consequence for third violation), which I really don’t want to do.” The students promise it won’t happen again and Miss Allen excuses them to go to their next class. She moves back into her classroom to great her next class.
...t. Then later it became clear he was having an issue that was making him extremely upset. The concerned parent talked to the teacher and principal and both told her that the student had inattentiveness in the classes. Now very worried the mother took her son to a university to have him examined for any condition. The experts came up empty. The mother withdrew the child from school and found out that the teacher regularly verbally assaulted her son. The article takes an abrupt turn and discusses the how to deal with the issue. One way is to hear other stories to see if what is happening is an actual situation. Another thing to do is document everything that happens. Then complain professionally. Make sure to complain in turn from those with smaller authority to the superintendent. The most important help those who are bullied because they are the most vulnerable.
I am quite aware that the standards of ethical conduct represent the highest ideals of the education profession and adhering to these standards is an obligatory component to guarantee the carefulness of students, the respect of our community, and the honor of our profession. I have respected the child’s right to get a good education. I have worked to provide my students with a safe environment that invite the common reflection. In doing so, I will be walking toward one of my greatest goals as a teacher: make that each student achieves his or her full potential in the physical, emotional, social and intellectual areas. Using praises I improved class climate through incentives and rewards. I clearly communicated how diversity will be valued in the class. I provided activities which bring together different experiences, strategies, and perspectives. I respected all students as individuals with culturally defined identities and recognized students have a right to a variety of educational experiences that help them make informed. I let students know how they can contact me to express their concerns regarding the classroom climate, invited students to bring in culturally relevant texts (e.g., songs, self-written poetry), and asked them to create a glossary for difficult-to-understand language. When appropriate, I initiated discussion on being bi-lingual/cultural. I will also bring in texts relevant to the lives of
