[quote=Anonymous]I've taught at schools on both ends of the spectrum.  There are certainly kids who misbehave in both places but the difference is that when I called to talk to parents about behavior, the parents of the kids in the higher SES school contacted me back. I have never met most the parents of the kids at my Title 1 school.  I call and leave messages and I get nothing. I call and the phones are disconnected. Sometimes our admins do home visits and nobody is there.  One girl in our school had a seizure in class and nobody could get in touch with her parents at all. It is radio silence and it isn't just me. At my old school, the parents would call me back or call the office.  A few years ago, I had a parent scream at me as I was a walking to my car. I had no idea who she was. She was yelling about me giving her daughter too much homework. When I asked who she was, she looked at me like I was crazy and told me who her child was. I had never seen her before and never saw her after that.  A lot of kids misbehave but I felt like I had backup in my old school. [/quote]
