[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The messaging to staff within schools is ... don't come down too hard on bad behavior, absenteeism, and/or work avoidance because that leads to drop outs in high school. Meanwhile, kids are getting a free pass and promoted to the next grade throughout ES and MS regardless of behavior, attendance, or grades ... so they don't drop out later??  Yes, people can change and we don't want to exile a child who could improve and take their education and life prospects seriously. But for the hope of those few, many ridiculous and harmful behaviors are being overlooked that harm other students - and teacher, bus drivers, IAs, etc. - who have to look the other way every day right now and deal with dangerous and disrespecful behaviors. It's insanity.   -An MS teacher and ES parent, FCPS[/quote]

+1. It's so bad right now. A couple of our bus drivers recently complained about students openly vaping on the bus in addition to other awful behavior. One of the drivers is pregnant and the students were blowing the smoke right in her face. The kids got no consequences except a talking to and were right back on the bus the next day. How is that fair to the other kids and the drivers who are exposed to secondhand aerosols and just trying to get to and from school in peace? It's stupid to put the needs of the worst behaved students above everyone else. Of course we can't find bus drivers.[/quote]
