[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is nothing new, there are fights in all the high school.[/quote]

Number of fights have increased.

I have been in education for over 25 years.  not a "W" teacher by any stretch, having spent the bulk of my career in challenging schools

When the new Code of Conduct was introduced, more and more excuses were given for poor behavior, and kids knew they could get away with murder.   When principals had autonomy and could make decisions based on the norms of the community, disciplinary measures were handled quickly, allowing teachers to focus on instruction.

I finally had to get out when I was forced to shut the door of my classroom each morning b/c there were daily turf fights in the hall.

Once autonomy died, so did discipline.  We are too controlled by the powers that be who have never set foot in a classroom.

This will ONLY get worse.  [/quote]

This is pathetic.
Effectively it means that children aren’t receiving their free appropriate education due to being physically harmed or fear of being physically harmed at school.
Someone should do a class action lawsuit until it is fixed.

Would smaller schools help or is a decent behavior intervention plan and a lot more supervision sufficient?

MCPS gets more pathetic by the day. [/quote]
