[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't forget rudeness from students, especially in grades [b]6[/b]-12. It's off the chain.

The Karens get replaced by pint-size version of themselves in middle school, lol.[/quote]

Rude kids have always existed. The difference is that no one is willing to discipline them anymore. There are very little consequences for rude behavior. Admin needs to actually start imposing consequences. I feel sorry for the kids who’s education keeps getting disrupted by their classmates.[/quote]

Rude kids are much more common now. Parents don't teach their kids basic manners and then side with their kids if the teacher says something about the rudeness.  Parents used to respect teachers, and teach their kids to do the same.[/quote]

Yes. True. But there is an entire cultural shift. So parents don’t teach their kids basic manners and schools don’t enforce consequences for the lack of manners. We can’t control parental behavior. But schools can control what they do and enforce consequences.[/quote]

There is a lobbying group in Arlington now dedicated to parents rights called Arlington Parents for Education or APE. They are trying to resurrect their image now but they were awful to teachers during the pandemic and a lot of them are pro private school vouchers so teachers leaving and weakening public schools helps their agenda. They also lobbied against Covid safety and one of their priorities is return to normal. This too has caused teachers who don’t want to get infected over and over with Covid to leave. [/quote]This is a pretty twisted and inaccurate narrative.  But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good smear.[/quote]

We saw what we saw. Both teachers and normal non APE parents. [/quote]
SMART Restart had my kid's teachers terrified that they and their families were going to die if schools reopened even post-vaccination.  My kid's teacher sobbed through parent teacher conferences is Feb 2021.  One of the founders' kids is in my kid's class.  Guess who had her all worked up?  Yeah.  [/quote]
