[quote=Anonymous]The behavior issues really ramped up when the Education department issued the “dear colleagues” letter during the Obama era.  It dated that schools could be sued for differences in suspensions by race.  Schools responded by getting rid of suspension entirely.  Suspension was just treated as a holiday by kids since parents often refuse to hold their kids accountable.  Technology use meant kids didn’t feel they were missing anything (socially/entertainment/assignment) by being absent anyways.

So now kids have very little consequences.  7% of boys are thought to be narcissists (girls 3-4%). Trauma and other issues creates a lot psychos and kids who don’t trust adults or unwilling to follow rules from adults. The guardrails that could contain these kids are now gone.  Overall it has meant that being in a classroom is often miserable for students and teachers.  Kids are mostly checked out and doing the bare Minimum in most schools.  Teachers have trouble engaging kids addicted to screens or who can’t handle labs, independent thinking, or working socially with others.

Truly sad to see how things have gone downhill in the last 15 years.  The smart kids with parent support are doing better than ever, but everyone else seems to really be unmotivated.
