[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I set the tone in my classroom but there are so many undisciplined students and the admin wants nothing to do with discipline. Neither do the parents for that matter. The last week of school, I had a student throw a chair at me. Luckily, he didn't hit anyone. Class was over so I took him to the office while the admin called his parent. His mother screamed so loudly on the phone that others in the office could hear and then she hung up. She wants no part of being bothered about her child's behavior at school. Many parents have the mentality (and have voiced it) that what happens at school is the school's problem. Admin can't do much so back to class he went. He's no dummy. Lather, rinse, repeat. [/quote]

This was our experience in DD's 4th grade class last year.  A kid tried to throw a desk at the teacher.  Plus, multiple other incidents.  Kid went to the office but was back in class the next day.

To say that 'teachers set the tone' is not telling the whole story.  The teacher can set the tone, but the kids are not stupid.  They recognize that there is no disciplinary action taken by the school/by the principal.  What exactly is the teacher supposed to do when the parents don't care and the admin wants to sweep issues under the rug.  Seriously.  [/quote]
