Biographie de l'auteur

My name is Sherylyn Bouldin Bailey, JD. I earned a Juris Doctorate from Walter F. George School of Law affiliated with Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. I hold a bachelor of arts in education from Brooklyn College and a master of arts in education from New York University. I have been teaching for seventeen years. For most of my teaching career, I have taught seventh-grade social studies. In 2007, I became a dean of students at the Police Officer Rocco Laurie School in Staten Island, New York. In my capacity as a dean, I have encountered students with a lot of misconceptions about the Code. For example, students will get into a physical altercation and think that their best defense is "He/She hit me first." But the Code states, "Engaging in an altercation or physically aggressive behavior which creates a substantial risk of or results in minor injury" (Code: B37). Nowhere does it state or discuss "self-defense or who hit first." Parents will also argue that their child did not hit first and, therefore, should not be punished. For this and many other reasons, I have decided to write this book to simplify and explain the NYC Discipline Code.
