[quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked as an elementary support teacher and I have been in many classrooms and I’ve never heard a teacher say “you’ll have to sit with Larla if you don’t quiet down” BUT teachers can’t put two talkers next to each other or NOTHING will get done. So yeah sometimes they put the talkers next to the quiet kids in the hopes that they can keep teaching.

The truth is that the past 5+ years has turned education on its head. The innatentive and disruptive behaviors are awful and parents don’t help much and admin does the best they can, but there are too many problem kids to handle everything.

Screens (both at home and in the classroom)+kids with less free range play have resulted in increase of ADHD symptoms and gentle parenting practices have resulted in students who don’t have as much fear of adults, which means they have less respect for teachers, who can’t do much if a kid acts out, so the cycle continues.

It is not fair for the quiet kids, not at all. I feel for the students who struggle and can’t maximize their education because of the need for constant redirection.

I’m not sure how to fix this. If we could shut down all screen time for a month (at home and at school) and see how it changes kids, I think it would be eye opening. [/quote]
