Maintaining order is essential to stopping bullying, and infringing on the rights of students who want to be there and want to learn. IMHO this is going to lead to chaos.
- abhorrence 7y agoThis doesn’t mean that bullying will go in punished. Nor does it mean that disruptive students will be allowed to continue disrupting class without consequence. It simply means that teachers have a lot less discretion, which will remove a lot of the potential for bias to affect their students in negative ways.
- TallGuyShort 7y agoI don't know how well my experience extrapolates to others, but disobeying a teacher's instructions in front of the teacher was pretty orthogonal to all the ways I was bullied. This doesn't seem related to me at all.
- rosybox 7y agoI'm pretty sure bullying could still lead to suspensions. The new law doesn't ban suspensions for rules the school creates, just for disobeying a teacher. Also why are we suspending 1st through 5th graders? Children in those grades are 11 years old and younger. What kind of system is that? These are small children.

- bagacrap 7y agoI think this just disallows suspensions for disobeying a teacher's arbitrary commands. Other laws define what you may suspend students for, such as bullying.
