What I need from you is understanding: A critical race interview study on the withdrawal experiences of former no excuses charter school students Perkins-Williams, Ruqayyah 2024-04-24 Charter Schools No Excuses Critical Race Theory Pushout Counternarratives No Excuses charter schools have long been valorized as the embodiment of a high performing school as well as the archetype of the dangers of lack of accountability of charter schools. No Excuses discipline has been one of the more scrutinized areas of this model due to claims about some of the discipline strategies employed are problematic and harmful to students. This critical race interview study examines one of the more highly critiqued practices of No Excuses charter schools, that of student pushout. Through the use of Critical Race Theory as a framework, this study captures the reflections of adults who experienced or witnessed pushout during their K-12 educational experience thus providing a counternarrative to majoritarian stories about this phenomenon. Participants reflected on the ways in which pushout was used as a complex tool to discipline both students and families and the schools themselves. These stories are captured in the themes that reflected the recruitment process, the retaliatory, relief, and resistance purposes that pushout serves, and the regrets and resilience that arose in the aftermath of this experience. This study has implications for the multiple stakeholders who benefit from the charter school presence.
