Damn, she's gorgeous, but I bet she's also more drama than she's worth.

Teachers say Florida suspect’s problems started in middle school, and the system tried to help him

In one school year, when Cruz was in middle school, he racked up numerous infractions — including for a fight during the second week of school and continuing with a pattern of unruly behavior, insults and profanity, according to disciplinary records obtained by WPLG-Local 10, an ABC television affiliate in Miami that shared the records with The Washington Post.


Teachers said that by eighth grade he was lashing out physically — randomly bumping other students in the hallways, appearing to want to pick confrontations and fights, and at times breaking into profanity-laced tirades without any apparent trigger.
For years, he was making school miserable for other kids and teachers. This will not be reported like this but for the other students and teachers having to share space with kids like that everyday damages your mental health. The focus is going to be on shootings but there’s incredible widespread damage being done just by the insistence on keeping these kids in school. It’s incredibly unfair to the other students. As for the shooter, why warp out 18 years of his life and then finally expell him? He’s been begging for expulsion for years. Let him go early for everyone’s sake. This is why our obsession with compulsory schooling is so insane. People, even kids, who hate it, shouldn’t be forced into it.

Quote:
Teachers worked “very, very, very hard” to get Cruz to a school center that would help him address his issues, said the sixth-grade teacher, who noted that Cruz’s now-deceased mother also understood his problems and wanted to get him help. But that process took years, the teacher said, and required loads of paperwork to back up Cruz’s needs.
Where I’m at, in this part of Florida, those schools don’t exist. They just progressively become more like prison. Teachers all over worked hard to dump him somewhere else but even the jail schools didn’t want him so they too worked hard to find the “right” placement.

Quote:
Broward County schools once recorded more in-school arrests than any other Florida school system. But that harsh approach fell out of favor amid concerns that it was funneling too many young people — and particularly black and Hispanic students — into the juvenile justice system. Cruz is listed on official documents as being white.
The argument is the white kid isn’t funneled in for the same offences. Here’s reality: Black kid disrupts class thirty times and gets suspended. White kid disrupts class three times and gets a warning. Black people go ape**** bananas asking why the white kid didn’t get suspended. Don’t believe it? Go teach.

Quote:
In recent years, Broward schools became a leader in the national move toward a different kind of discipline — one that would not just punish students, but also would help them address the root causes of their misbehavior. Such policies aim to combat what is known as the “school-to-prison pipeline,” giving teenagers a chance to stick with their education rather than get derailed, often permanently, by criminal charges.

Beginning in 2013, Broward stopped referring students to police for about a dozen infractions ranging from alcohol and drug use to bullying, harassment and assault. Instead, students who get in trouble for those infractions are offered an alternative program that emphasizes counseling, conflict resolution skills and referral to community social service agencies.

Jonathon Fishman, spokesman for the Broward Sheriff’s Office, said last week that he had no record of deputies arresting Cruz before Wednesday.
So they want to keep everything in house but guess what? They can’t deal with it. All they can do is sweep it under the rug. It said above he got into fights all the time but no assault charges. Teachers and students were terrified of him but they won’t kick him out or call the police or press charges when there’s a crime. The reason is they want to keep suspensions as low as possible. Not curb the behavior but just change the numbers.

Quote:
The Obama administration held up Broward’s transformed discipline system as a national model, inviting Runcie to speak about the district’s approach in 2015.
Congratulations Boward School District. Worked out great!

Quote:
In January 2017, when Cruz was disciplined for an alleged assault, that triggered a call for a threat assessment, a formal process by which the school determines whether a student is dangerous and how that student should be supervised and supported.

Three weeks after the call for the threat assessment, Cruz transferred to an alternative high school. It’s not clear whether the assessment was conducted, what its findings were or how those findings translated into any intervention.
Well, thank God they didn’t involve the police. The school to graveyard pipeline is so much better than the school to prison pipeline for kids who should be in prison or at least nowhere near a school.

Quote:
Lopez, who hid in one of the school’s closets to escape the shooting Wednesday, said Cruz would act violently toward his ex-girlfriend, as well as Lopez and her friends.

“He talked about killing our parents, our friends, boyfriends and girlfriends,” Lopez said. “He would hit [his ex-girlfriend], he would threaten her, he would threaten her family and her friends, for talking to other guys.”

Lopez said she reported Cruz to school officials “multiple” times between 2016 and 2017 after he began following her and her friends after school.
Instead of dealing with it they swept it under the rug. No Child Left Behind.
