I gained some additional insight today

The science department, all 9 of us, had lunch together today. It's clear these teachers are very close and it showed today

I was the only man. Not something I minded at all. Didn't say a lot. Mostly listened. That will. Hanged as I become adjusted. For right now, I seek to learn from the others.

One of the things I believe I learned today is this:

The discipline plan the school now has resulted from what must have damned near been a palace revolt last year.there were, apparently, some big behavior problems. With PBIS in use, I would be surprised if there weren't. Everywhere else I have seen it, PBIS has been a bust. Was that the case, here?

The entire admin team was new. I've seen situations like that and the results were never good, with the possible exception of graham middle, which had a hard charging, take no prisoners, assistant principal that kept things going. Rock middle was a catastrophe after Steve left and hasn't been right. Since.

Well be meeting about the discipline plan tomorrow and I will know more.
