[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an elementary school and kids' behavior is out of control. Many of them do not care when a teacher raises their voice; they dont respect adults, they think they can get away with whatever they want and it's really bad. I actually think the PE teacher had a good point. If there were a true emergency they literally wouldn't know how to be quiet for more than a minute because they don't stop talking even with all the teacher tools and connection and everything else we learn.

Teach your kids to be respectful of adults, to sit in their seats while they eat, to not talk back, to not hit when they're frustrated, to not need a screen to pacify them, to not crumble into pieces when they're remotely bored or have to wait for more than 3 minutes.

Can you tell it's been a bad week? Think about the collective safety of all the kids in the school and not your one kid--what do you think will happen to him with an extra lockdown drill? [/quote]

I worry the kids will be desensitized to lockdown drills and only associate them with teacher discipline. Again, there is a reason MCPS only lets principals call a lockdown drill. [/quote]
