[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the k class that was faced with such a challenging fall. The change of lead teacher upon returning from winter break has resulted in a dramatic change in the climate of the classroom. For the first time in months there is calm- children are soaking up the lessons and having fun at the same time. Kudos to the former teaching fellow for finding a way to step up and encourage this to happen.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone ever said which children are disruptive- it happens to be all races, boys and girls. (More boys though)

My child is at MV as well- doing ok with some things- not with others. In DC class it's difficult to pay attention, sustain focus due to the ongoing issues.  Unfortunately despite kind teachers- it's hard to see how it will improve if after this long kids have yet to internalize the class norms, basics. Instead, one misbehaving student inspires another, then another and so it dissolves...

So happy to have a break.[/quote]

This is the exact experience my kid has had for years. Its discouraging for everyone. The school genuinely is trying to improve, so far, not so successful. We can all hope and do what we can. [/quote][/quote]

It's been a week.[/quote]

Indeed. But still a marked improvement. Will take it.[/quote]

Not trying to snark but if you're excited about 5 days of remarkable improvement, that says a lot of how bad things are.[/quote]

maybe (I'm not there).  But the fact the good week occurs when you have a new teacher in charge is giving them hope this isn't a fluke but a corner turned.  There is half the year ahead and things could turn out fine.

Support teachers, if they still aren't working out with added support, let them go, and do anything to keep the ones that work out (e.g. give them lot of money). [/quote]
