Changes in MCPS in the last 15 years

Sure, a lot of people complain about a lot of things but overall things are pretty good here. When some crackpot moves to Howard county to escape the madness it benefits everyone else. Our schools are overcapacity. It's a good thing to have fewer whiners.

I agree and the county has been making some great changes these past few years to ensure that things continue improving.

a plus for the other 30 kids in a class . . .

Are you saying MCPS has extremely high % if misbehaving kids at every grade level? If that is one if a few fundamental issues, why isn’t anyone discussing that.

I had 15 in one class who were a mess. They traveled in a group. I had them toward the end of my day, which was bad for all involved. One plus? Many had time during the day to get into trouble - so they were with security.

Each grade level can have out-of-control kids. And sadly, if they enter in 9th (or 6th), they usually don't improve over the years.

You can thank restorative practices for pushing teachers out bc there is no such thing as discipline.

This 100%. I am tired of my kids having to deal with these kids. the teachers DO NOT DO ANYTHING. they allow the behavior to.continue for some bizarre reason. They cant kick these.kida.out so everyone suffers. The amount of misbehaving kids is what makes a school bad. and it starts at home. it isnt the other students or the teachers...its these families that really don't care about education. Get them out.

Why? Because it is politically incorrect to say that a kid has bad behavior. I wish they would bring back Mark Twain and give the teachers the power to discipline and kick these kids out of the classroom. There are plenty of these kids in my kids schools, but it really only takes.one to impact 30+ kids in the classroom. Its pathetic.

What grades are your kids in, PP? My DC will be going to middle school and misbehaving children that can't be disciplined are my biggest concern. I heard some bad stories...

I’m a parent and I would not blame the teachers. The teachers want the kids out of their classroom also. There is pressure from admin to keep the kids in the classroom. And MCPS as a whole does not believe in punishing kids for poor behavior.

I have a 6th grader and lunch is a sh$tshow at our nonW MS. We have friend at other schools and they say similar. Fights occur on a regular basis.

We have also had some incredibly disruptive kids IN the classroom, starting from 4th grade (throwing chairs, etc).

Good question. Why doesn’t the BOE focus on this? I certainly wish they would. Student behavior is a huge problem. MCPS chooses restorative justice over punitive measures so the kids learn at an early age that they can misbehave without any issues.

The BOE doesn't focus on fiction.

The kids learn it when the teacher emails about behavior and the parent does nothing or tells the child that the teacher is just mean or jealous because we have a nice house and she’s just a teacher.

Wrong stereotype. The behavior problem kids my class has you can barely reach a parent or aunt or grandma.

If that’s the case, then those kids learned no consequences at home, too.

No way you even live in MoCo. Anyone with kids in MCPS knows that the kids misbehavior has gotten infinitely worse over the past 15 years. MCPS allows kids to behave terribly.
