[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a high percentage FARMs school? Poverty leads to terrible behavior.  Mainly because it likely means absent parents, homelessness, one parent incarcerated, random relatives raising kids, etc.

I went to a “good” suburban public school (2002 high school graduation) Not wealthy, but very few would have been considered low income.  I don’t recall any of these problems.  No one swore at teachers (during class), threw anything, were destructive, starting fights.  It just didn’t happen.  The only bad behavior I recall was loitering in halls, sleeping in class, or talking when teacher was teaching.  [/quote]

You're so wrong.
At our W public MS, which is one of the top 3 mentioned on this board as being a terrific school and is in a wealthy area, the behavior is just as OP describes. There have been numerous fights caught on video this year and there are regularly kids sent out of the classroom for misbehaving or being disrespectful.

I think part of it is the pandemic but I remember hearing similar stories 3 years ago from parents of older kids.
