Approaches to disruptive student behavior

[Anonymous]

At my kids' private, disruptive kids are removed from the classroom and sent to be dealt with by the administration so the good kids can continue to learn and be in the classroom with the teacher(s). And yes, my use of "good kids" there was on purpose. The disruptive kid's parents are made to come into the school weekly to meet with administrators and teachers and called daily with reports on their kid. I know of cases where parents of disruptive kids were required to take parenting skills classes at the school and the kid was required to see the school counselor and/or a psychiatrist weekly. IMO this is exactly the correct response. A badly behaved kid usually has parents who don't know how to parent correctly, or perhaps are too lazy and entitled to do so. Dealing with the "whole picture" of both the behavior of the kikd and the parenting skills is exactly right.

Would you be able to say which school this is? This is the environment I'm looking for. We are tired of disruptive kids and teachers who don't do anything about it.

This is really good. Which school is this? Would like it if our school handled disruptive behavior this way...

11:53 here. I hesitate to name the school because every time a poster names their kids' school on DCUM they get attacked and the school gets trashed. This forum is a viper's pit.

I will say its a K-8 in NWDC.

St. Pats. Must be.

Could be Sheridan. St Pats starts that Nursery, as does NPS. Those are really the only options, right?

K-8 is a general term for an elementary that goes through 8th. May or may not include a PK. (Few privates don't have PK. Only catholic schools start at K.)

11:53 here. Exactly right. Its one of the independents named above (St Pats, NPS, Sheridan).

NPS only goes to 6th. And it doesn't handle things that way. They certainly imply that its the parents fault, as does the poster above, but aren't so paternalistic as to follow through with parenting classes. Hysterical.

Forced parenting classes .. and you get to pay for the privilege. And your kid is called the Bad Kid who is separated from the Good Kids. Sounds like a really bad dystopian YA book.

Wow you're sure high on yourself. "Bad Kid" and "Lazy Parents"
Let's just hope your precious delicate child doesn't Flip a Switch at some point and make you the "lazy parent" and your kid the "bad kid"...

Frankly, some schools just aren't good fits for certain kids...

This sounds terrible. Why would people pay for this kind of treatment?

It's definitely not Sheridan...at least the Sheridan my kids attend.
