[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have taught in both high-income private and medium/low-income public. Bad behavior in the private meant spoiled and obnoxious kids. Bad behavior in public meant neglected and angry kids. I’ll take the latter any day.[/quote] My kid was in a high income public elementary. A friend was stalked by a fetal alcohol kid in third grade, school said there was little they could do. A classmate in kindergarten hit, pushed and stabbed other kids with pencils and scissors --kid was emotionally neglected. Another child with special needs would have full fledged temper tantrums several times a week, which brought class to a halt, despite the presence of a one to one aide. Our private both kicks out and counsels out kids with behavior problems. Have never experienced behavior remotely close to what we observed in our public elementary.[/quote]
