[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like you need to get your classroom under control.  You tell kids when snack time is.  Done.
You teach vs. dump kids on chromebooks.
You tell them this is the consequence if you don't get bathroom permission and have a pass or sign out sheet.
As a teacher, you need to set expectations and be consistent.[/quote]

And what should a teacher do when a kid disobeys these expectations?  THAT is the problem.  A teacher’s hands are tied when it’s impossible to implement meaningful consequences for negative behavior.  Admin and MCPS Central Office do not want to see ‘retributive justice’.

Kids learn that they can get away with really bad behavior.  They learn this early and their behavior just gets worse.  [/quote]

Teachers play a big role in how they conduct their classroom.  You call the parent and let them know.  You can give consequences.[/quote]

You don’t even teach in MCPS, do you?

At some schools, it can be almost impossible to get a hood of the parents and if you do call the parent, he/she might not speak English.[/quote]

Then you have someone translate, use google translate, etc.  And, in most of the W schools, more than likely the parents speak English.  Stop making excuses.  Parent cannot help if they don't know the problem.[/quote]
