[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know a single teacher in my elementary school who finds RJ to work.  I know we're just one school but our building has become a disaster with student behavior issues like PP have mentioned.  We have 2nd graders cursing out staff, hitting staff, throwing things at people, running laps around the building...you name the chaos, we have it.  
Aside from students who genuinely need special services, we did not have these issues when parents were inconvenienced by a suspension and intake meeting after the third offense. My poor teammate has been dealing with a war zone in her room since September and the kids know that they can get away with literally anything at this point. The future is not looking bright for us right now.[/quote]

School need to call parents and tell them to come get their kids.  Simple.  If parents also don't know what's going on they cannot do anything about it.[/quote]

I'm an administrator - if we call parents to pick up a disruptive student early we have to mark it as a suspension. Suspensions require approval from our area director.  Our directors put up a HUGE stink when we ask permission to suspend. Suspension numbers count against school and the district.  Kids and their parents have caught on that there's no consequences. Our teachers are doing the best that they can but our hands are tied at the school level. [/quote]
