[quote=Anonymous]We are at a Title 1 and most teachers do not yell but especially in the upper grades, some of the student behavior is so egregious that I would not blame them if they did occasionally. Not because it's effective (we all know it's not) but because if you are dealing with kids who are consistently, daily, disrespectful, late, not listening, refusing to work, throwing things, getting up and wandering into the hall without permission, etc., you could be a saint and you'd still lose your temper now and then. Yelling isn't good but also these teachers have no recourse. Kids may be given temporary timeouts or sent to the school counselor but they don't learn anything and come back in and do the same stuff. You could call their parents but odds are good they won't show up. These kids do not care and in many cases, their parents don't either.

We are leaving the school because we want a better environment, but we aren't leaving because of the teachers. We want a school community with more involved parents and kids who are learning socio-emotional skills at home and whose families value education.

I would be surprised if L-T has these problems, at least to this degree. They aren't Title 1 anymore. I'm sure there are some teachers who are more stern than others but there's just no way the classroom environment is as disruptive and stressful as it is at schools with really high at risk percentages.[/quote]
