[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I volunteer once a week at a school on Capitol Hill that is listed as 99% FARMS. I don't think that it is actually a full 99% low income, but that designation indicates that a very high percentage of the student population is low-income. The behavior that I have personally witnessed is much more than "boy banter/playful aggression." I have seen serious fighting (in which children get hurt) and heard horrible language. Many of the children are outright defiant to teachers. They seem to have no respect for adults and either run around the room or wander the halls. Sadly, the classes in which I've seen this behavior have been very young children -- 1st and 2nd graders. [/quote] FARMS rate related to behavior???[/quote] Yes. Absolutely. It is called poverty.
