[quote=Anonymous]There is a fine line between discipline and parenting. Schools do need to be innovative and creative in in their discipline, to ensure that students don't miss instructional time. But there is a small fraction of kids who don't want to be in school. We must acknowledge that these children bring a myriad of issues to school stemming from their communities and parents. Schools are built around communities but the schools can't be parents and educate. It's why impoverished schools struggle in test scores and these children are under-prepared for college and career readiness. The truth may sting but these schools are trying to be parents and fix the emotional/social issues these kids bring to school before educating them. There is clearly not enough time to fix broken children and educate in ten months. [/quote]
