uCANcomplainBlog.com Empowers Communities to Advocate
for a More Nurturing and Fair K-12 Public School System Nationwide

 

RALEIGH, NC, April 18, 2016 – uCANcomplain, Inc., an organization committed to the reform of public school discipline, as well as advocacy of restorative practices and fair treatments on students, announced today the launch of its new innovative online platform: www.uCANcomplainBlog.com.

Surely, there are many other advocates championing similar causes. However, uCANcomplain maintains the only platform devoted to the issue of public school discipline AND its reform actively, constructively and collectively with a public forum to benefit students across the country.

The key mission of the website is to help parents and educators foster positive solutions to school discipline. This means a major overhaul on the current disciplinary practices in most public schools on policies related to suspension, expulsion, zero-tolerance policy, school-to-prison pipeline, and bullying.

The initiative has a four-part A.B.C.D. mission: Advocate disciplinary alternatives; Boost positive student behaviors; Challenge bureaucracy; and Demand transparency and accountability in the U.S. public school system.

Resources available on the website include:

uCANcomplainBlog.com challenges all concerned citizens, including parents, students and educators, to vocalize about school discipline, and advocate for a more constructive methodology for dealing with misbehaving and disruptive students. With such, uCANcomplain aims to minimize or eradicate suspensions, expulsions, zero-tolerance policies, and school-to-prison pipeline – in favor of a proven and more restorative approach.

“Every child is entitled to quality education in America,” said Shirley Tang, a former educator and founder of uCANcomplain, Inc. “Yet, children are often deprived of such due to wrongful or unjust school disciplines. Given the right guidance and resources, children CAN thrive and become responsible individuals without their future being tarnished or ruined by harsh suspensions, expulsions, and arrests.”

uCANcomplainBlog.com tackles a myriad of issues and emphasizes the importance of taking constructive actions. Members of the uCAN community can participate in any of the platform’s three You-Be Series: “You Be the Reporter,” “You Be the Complainer” and “You Be the Advocate.” Additional series will be launched onward to drive actions and create solutions.

“ALL children matter. Together, we CAN reform, and build a better future for our children as well as a better world for ourselves,” Tang said.
