[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s because y’all shut down the schools. All those promises of being there for the children vanished once teachers and the staff got afraid. And you left vulnerable kids to fend for themselves. So trust is greatly diminished.  It’s going to take years, with the right approach. And as so far, the public schools haven’t changed much. So it may be never. [/quote]

In my experience it’s a trend that has been escalating over the last 10 years. [/quote]

Yup before COVID![/quote]

Agree. Covid is a convenient excuse and the stress of the pandemic helped no one, but the behavior problems are being reported everywhere in the country, including in states and counties that were "doing it right" and stayed in person. There was a teacher panel interview that aired in 2018 where a bunch of teachers from various districts discussed the kinds of behaviors they were expected to deal with in regular classrooms. The number of discipline referrals in FCPS had been creeping up over the past 10-15 years, until the county decided that wasn't a good look and changed the guidelines.

This is so true. All it takes is a quick search on this board even. I had a chair thrower and classroom destroyer in my class prior to covid, and haven’t had one since, but it’s definitely happening in other classrooms at my school. [/quote]
