[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I’m trying to understand is why there is a lack of discipline.  And folks can’t blame RJ, because a key component of RJ is accountability for one’s actions.  Nor does having RJ mean than extreme cases are never handled in a punitive way.[/quote]

Maybe you need to unclench. Discipline seems fine at our school. [/quote]

So because your one school in our 200+ school system is "fine," the rest of us who are telling you our lived experiences with a lack of discipline and enforcement are lying?

Shoo, troll. [/quote]

Hyping isolated incidents to fearmonger doesn't make it so. [/quote]

Ignoring the fact that MOST teachers and MOST schools do not feel safe to the actual teachers and students is not hyping isolated incidents.[/quote]

Says you. Everyone I've spoken with has no such experience.[/quote]

Love that you continue to speak with authority when you're not actually working in a school building. Your little anecdotes from your imaginary friends are tiresome. [/quote]

Their statements are relatable to my experiences, but your histrionics are not.[/quote]

I am a 4th-grade teacher in a focus school. I know teachers in many schools and across many grade levels- elementary through high school. However, the majority of my friends live and work upcounty- Gaithersburg, Montgomery Village, Germantown, Clarksburg. All except one are focus schools or Title 1. All are sharing similar stories to my own- special education teachers being pulled to handle all behavior issues, no substitutes leading to long coverage lists, no serious consequences for students leading to increased behaviors, less attendance as there are no consequences in high school, and an overall tired and deflated teacher group. The majority want to leave the profession but are too invested in the system. One of my friend's schools is clearly easier than the others. Her students are on grade level for the most part, disruptions aren't as bad, they are still getting substitute teachers, etc... But that friend certainly knows what is going on in the majority of schools and would never presume that most schools are like hers.

So my question to you is what specific schools are you working in and dealing with that are all functioning well? Because the rest of the teachers in this thread want to go there! Thanks for helping your fellow teachers out.[/quote]
