[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's been happening in my 5th grade daughter's class all year and the kids hate it. They've lost part of their recess time multiple times, lost lunch time and other things like that all year. The teacher is new to our school this year and it's just been really hard as she's extremely strict on the kids.

If you're still landing hard on the whole class every day at this point in the year, something is really wrong with how you're approaching discipline. [/quote]

Or the teacher is outnumbered by students who don’t respect authority.

I’m a very good teacher with strong classroom management. I have a ton of tricks at my disposal, and I know how to handle challenging classroom situations.

Still, I had a class of 28 high schoolers a couple of years ago that got the best of me. I had 12-14 extremely disruptive students and I had little support from the school. I tried everything: contacting parents, making connections with students, individual conferences, behavior plans, seat changes, different classroom configurations, curriculum alterations, etc. I did everything right, and I still could not get that class to function at the level I’m used to.

Teachers are handling off-the-chart behaviors now. It isn’t what we experienced ourselves as students. [/quote]

This and teachers are leaving...high numbers don't fool yourself it's happening right here in FCPS. Teachers are done. They don't get paid enough.[/quote]
