[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but in the past, children experienced consequences for poor behavior. Not anymore. How does that prepare them for reality?[/quote]

Agree. Before the teachers had more control because the parents always backed the teacher. Now they demean them. They label their kids instead of parenting them. Make excuses. Want the government, county, school, and teachers to do more because they chose not to parent. [/quote]

When my kids are in school, I expect them to be in capable hands. I don't expect them to blame me for behavior that is going on in their classrooms, when I'm not there.

In my experience, teachers don't bother teaching difficult kids. They just punish them. If they bothered explaining to them what the issues are, or work on having a good relationship with them, or -- yes, even give them some responsibility in the classroom so they feel wanted or needed -- then the kids have a chance to grow into the kind of kid teachers want in the classroom. It takes a special kind of talent to do things like that. I already posted, but we've come across a couple of teachers who have this ability and they're worth their weight in gold. They are the kind of teachers these kids remember and love for the rest of their lives.[/quote]

They have 30 kids a day.  If your kid is an a-hole in class every day, it is your fault, not theirs.  Whether the teacher can work with the child or not.  Whether they decrease time other kids have learning or not.  Whether they get set to the principal or not.  Your job as a parent is to get them prepared for school, manners, behavior, expectations, respect.  Then and now with online learning.  Stop making it out to be the teacher's fault.  [b]You are insane.[/b]  [/quote]

LOL nice touch. You lost all credibility with that last line. It's akin to what a teacher does with students who aren't perfect.

I'm not just talking about my own kids. I've been in classrooms plenty of times and seen teachers whittle away at kids with strong personalities -- and even with strong intellects. I've seen them try to shut down kids who ask too many questions or are too interested or engaged. It's easier for the teacher to have a roomful of kids who are docile than to have even one who is genuinely excited about something they're learning. Good teachers don't try to blunt their students emotions and intellect to mange the classroom. Admit it, not all teachers enjoy children.[/quote]

We found the mom with the bratty kids. LOL[/quote]

Ugh, there are so many mean and immature parents in this area it's impossible to have an intelligent conversation about anything. Actually one of my kids is the rare bird who actually listens in school so teachers adore him. That's the way he is. Personally I like all kinds of personalities and this area is just stultifying to anyone creative or with an intellect -- because of attitudes like the ones on this thread.

MCPS has gone downhill because of the quality of the families living here now. Boring and robotic.[/quote]

So you think the kids that disrupt the class and act like ass-clowns are the creative, intelligent ones who are being held down by the man because the man wants them to listen to the teacher?

What a joke—no lady, those kids are the ones bullying and shitting on the creative and intelligent kids because, once again, their parents are lazy, self-absorbed shits who don’t care.[/quote]

DP. It's hard for me to believe that you are raising kind, smart, empathetic, and creative kids when you talk like this. No way is it possible.[/quote]

Let me guess...you’re also the mommy who can’t keep her teens home because it’s “so hard and they are so sad.”[/quote]
