[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things have gotten worse at my school. Kids have gotten comfortable and spring is here. That means, there has been an uptick in outrageous behaviors. Today, I had to half drag a kindergarten student upstairs to the office because he started hitting/hicking us. This afternoon, the entire downstairs at my school had to listen to screaming from a pre-k kid who has been running laps around the school for the last few weeks. I also have a student who eats everything and anything under the sun. Thankfully her classmates tell me when this happens so I can fish it out of her mouth (today it was a twist tie and a cap eraser). My student with the huge behavior issues was absent today so it was a pretty calm day.

I've heard awful stories from the middle school. The admin is always busy with them so they rarely have time to help us out. We are exhausted and we still have two weeks left before spring break. Teachers call in sick so much due to the stress and exhaustion and there are no subs (who can blame them with these behavior issues?) And our school isn't even that bad compared to others I've heard about.[/quote]

Parents need to  be called to pick up their kids or to sit with them in class if they cannot  behave.  [/quote]

So they should just leave work every day to come to school? How realistic is that?[/quote]

Perhaps that will motivate them to actually parent their out of control kids and/or get them psychiatrist help so that they won’t have to keep missing work. Shrug.[/quote]

Wow you really hit the low end of DCUM. Shrug.

Gross. [/quote]

Its gross to do nothing and just send your kids to school pretending its nothing.  [b]Some kids have real mental health issues and the schools should focus on helping them[/b].  Not the made up mental health issues that parents use to handle their kids poor behavior.[/quote]

No.  That is not a school's job.  That is a parent's job.  Do your job, parent.  Get help for your kids.  Schools should focus on teaching and learning.  Parents are supposed to focus on everything else.  Stop making schools responsible for doing something for your kid because of your inability to do your job as a parent.
