We'll hear Monday from a parent who was contacted about "behavior" issues, resulting in a request for special education evaluation.  What's odd about this is that the student is an honor roll student and has received citizenship awards for his conduct.  Tune in to hear how this story progressed and gain some insight into how to address these issues.

Recently a New Jersey school resource officer became engaged in a physical struggle with two students and a school staff member who attempted to stop the officer from assaulting the students.   This resulted in the suspension of the officer and pending investigation to determine if he keeps his job.  In light of this, there are those who believe that "they got what they deserved for resisting", yet can't nor won't address the facts relative to the issue of police brutality.  Let's put this puppy to bed!!! 00:59:00In the Bullpen With Dr- TnoIn the "BULLPEN" with Dr. Te4c05985-e0e3-40fa-88d8-88703317bbe6114fullIt Ain't That Early Morning Showhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/inthebullpenwithdrt/2017/10/19/it-aint-that-early-morning-showK-12http://www.blogtalkradio.com/inthebullpenwithdrt/2017/10/19/it-aint-that-early-morning-show/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/inthebullpenwithdrt/2017/10/19/it-aint-that-early-morning-showThu, 19 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMTIt Ain't That Early Morning ShowEvery Tuesday and Thursday morning Dr. T and Myla discuss the important education issues of the day and other daily news.

In the late 50's and through the 70's, private foundations and corporations funded "innovative" experiments to radically change the educational envirnoment. Nova High School in Davie Florida was one of the high schools who were redesigned for innovation in the 1960's. Funded by the Ford Foundation, some of the innovations from this experiment were helpful and some were ill conceived, even surviving in our schools today and being repackaged as "new ideas." Ted Wozniak, as student at Nova High School during this period of innovation, will walk us through what his experiences as a student were during this period.  How similar are the current reform efforts to the experiments of the past?

Today I received a call from Ms. Turk, Ryan's mother.  The police department is pursuing charges for disorderly conduct and theft.  Keep in mind Ryan receives free lunch and subsequently a property right to the milk.   If schools and School Resource Officers are to work in tandem, why the criminal charge?  Are these two entities doing what the Governor has outlined in an effort to reduce the criminaliztion of students?   Tune in tonight to revisit this topic as it seems to never go away.
