Looking for hive mind, crowd-sourcing insight. I need an outside of the education system perspective.

I'm going to give a hypothetical situation, but all of the elements have happened this school year. I'd love to have some feedback from parents, teachers, and students. Please reblog for more diverse feedback, if you choose. Thanks!

There are 3 students- John Doe, Joe Public, and Susie Queue. They are 4th graders (~9-years-old). Susie Queue informs her teacher that on the playground, John and Joe have been cursing (swearing), talking about 'inappropriate body parts' and talking about sex.

Upon further investigation, nothing has been turned up that suggests that abuse is happening or that the boys have been exposed to anything more extreme than rated R movies and TV-MA shows (think Game of Thrones).

When the school administration calls home, John Doe's parents don't see any problem with what their child has said. They inform school admin that they allow their children to cuss, watch rated-R movies and watch TV-MA shows, and they talk and joke about sex and body parts all of the time.

Joe's parents inform the school that, while they don't watch those movies/shows in their house, Joe has seen them at friends' houses. They don't really see a problem, but do acknowledge that they need to have a conversation with Joe about appropriate times and places for such language and talk.

Susie's mother is on the warpath. She is furious that her child has heard these words and ideas. She wants the students responsible punished. She is demanding to know what will happen to the students, and is irate when informed that sharing that information would be a violation of John's and Joe's privacy rights. Mrs. Queue is threatening to go to the School Board and also the local press.

What would you do? What do you think the school should do? How do school respect the home cultures of all of these students? Should there be consequences for the boys?

"my father, he was a hunter. he passed away"

well you already have something in common

Jo and Dean are so cute for real. I love them especially because the show doesn't even make them get together they are just friends who flirt with each other because they are emotionally constipated and goofy

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

[beardedmrbean]

that's a happy ending, kindness in action can do some good here and there.

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

"I’m very concerned about my client’s right to a fair trial in this case.  He’s being prejudiced by some statements that are being made by government officials. Like every other defendant, he’s entitled to a presumption of innocence. But unfortunately the way this has been handled so far his rights are being violated. And as you know, Your Honor, there’s a wealth of case law guaranteeing his rights to a fair trial, but none of the safeguards have been put in place yet here — in fact it’s just the opposite of what’s been happening. 

He’s a young man, and he is being treated like a human pingpong ball between two warring jurisdictions here.

These federal and state prosecutors are coordinating with one another at the expense of him. They have conflicting theories in their indictment, and they are literally treating him like he is some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle. 

He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career. It was absolutely unnecessary. He’s been cooperative with law enforcement. He’d been in custody for over a week. He waived extradition. He was cooperative at all accounts. There was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles — that frankly I had no idea it was in their arsenal — and to have all the press there the media there. It was perfectly choreographed. 

And what was the New York City Mayor doing at this press conference, Your Honor? That just made it utterly political. And as your honor knows under Loro v. Charles, the Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit has held it to be clearly established that these staged perp walks to the media unrelated to a legitimate law enforcement objective is unconstitutional. And I submit that there was zero law enforcement objective to do that sort of perp walk. There’s absolutely no need for that whatsoever. 

And frankly, Your Honor, the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence that he, too, is afforded dealing with his own issues. And, frankly, I submit that he was just trying to detract from those issues by making a spectacle of Mr. Mangione. 

And there are consequences to this. 

He has a right to a fair trial. And I just want to put on the record statements that the mayor made publicly about my client. Nothing saying “alleged” for example. And he said “I wanted to send a strong message with the police commissioner that we’re leading from the front. I’m not just going to allow him to come into our city. I wanted to look him in the eye and state ‘You carried out this terrorist act in my city, the city of New York that I love.’” And he wanted to show symbolism. 

Your Honor, he’s not a symbol. He’s somebody who is afforded the right to a fair trial. He’s innocent until proven guilty. And the mayor was talking to jurors — future potential jurors that elected him. Those are the people that elected him that he is talking to and calling this man a terrorist.

So, Your Honor, I just want to make a record of this and put everyone on notice that this has to stop, and my client is entitled to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence."
