[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is true at our Focus School too.  When I heard about all the problems at my kid's school-- disruptive kids requiring "evacuation" of the other kids into another classroom, teachers leaving en masse -- we started frantically searching for a new neighborhood in Potomac or Rockville, but now I'm thinking it's not worth spending $1M because the issues at my kid's school might be universal to MCPS. . .

I could have written this exact post.  We are also at a Focus school and the behavior issues are horrible!  It was pretty much on a daily basis last school year - one kid would run out of the classroom constantly, there were multiple physical fights IN the classroom, one kid occasionally threw furniture, like a trash can or a chair.

But I think this seems to be the case all over MCPS, so not sure the wealthier schools have an advantage.  [/quote]

Sounds like my school though we're not focus or Title 1.  Sadly, getting hit and called a F'n B are the new normal in elementary schools. I heard a colleague mention something about a new blueprint or rule that for next year, you can't suspend kids under 8 years old.  Our first and second graders last year were out of control. I can't fathom what we're going to do when suspensions are off the table.  Oh that's right, we will have a restorative circle while I hold an ice pack against my face and that of my other students. This country's educational system is in the toilet because society expects us to solve all of their problems that are brought to school daily by our kids. It's so unfair to the 90% who really want to learn and have fun with their friends. [/quote]
