Students perpetually arriving late to school and class, or just wandering the halls during classes without any consequences whatsoever (often times just chatting it up with security when they should be in class). Restorative justice, which in reality allows students who hinder the learning process and are sometimes a danger to students and adults to continue to be in school rather than being suspended. High schools are just a mess when it comes to poor behavior and literally no consequences whatsoever.
Yes. All of this.
Student attendance this week has been especially awful (I'm maybe getting 50% per class in my On Level courses). I'll send 40 emails home and will get 0 responses. I understand parents can get overwhelmed with the abundance of school communication, but you'd think something like "your child is failing a course required to graduate" or "I haven't seen your child in two weeks" would be a message that they would respond to.
