[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a huge reason why public schools are failing. There are no consequences for poor behavior. I think class sizes play a role as well as staffing. We have full grade levels struggling due to the behavior of 5-8 kids. We have parents asking teachers how to parent their kids. It is a mess. [/quote]

I think a lot of kids misbehave at school because they know they can get away with crap there that they wouldn’t at home.  Teachers ‘ ability to deliver meaningful consequences has been stripped from teachers, and school administrators who are more interested in playing politician than in acknowledging their  “in loco parentis” responsibilities, are doing little because they prioritize their own self-interest over the community for which they work.

THIS ^^.  I'm one of the PPs who wound up quitting due to the horrendous behavior of some of my students.  The principal and assistant principal looked at me like I had four heads when I brought the situation to their attention (they already knew about it, but continued to gaslight as if it was my fault).  They refused to call the parents because they clearly didn't want the hassle of having to deal with them.  I'm looking into teaching a private school, where kids troublemakers are not tolerated and teachers are supported.[/quote]

There is so much gaslighting in education at every level. This is why teachers are done. Oh and the [b]toxic positivity-nonsense[/b].[/quote]

Toxic positivity is the worst from admin this year.

Meanwhile- 
Team meetings during planning are mandatory, submit minutes in real time
Respond to all parent emails, calls, and accommodate if they want an in person meeting, but don’t skip any team or faculty meetings. 
We are short subs.  Be aware classes may be combined or you may be pulled if you have a free moment. 
We understand the copier is broken and maintenance had been notified.

This doesn’t even touch class behavior or anything with students in the actual class.  [/quote]
