[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above posters are spot on. The kids who are getting in these fights and assaulting staff are almost always Tier 2 or Tier 3 in MTSS or whatever they're calling it nowadays and have pages of discipline referrals. If anything the referrals are under counted and underreported in the majority of these cases because teachers are fatigued by the endless cycle of reporting, being chastised for reporting, finally getting a meeting about the student, and then being told to start a sticker chart and collect 6 weeks worth of data before there's even a chance the base school will hold another meeting to consider discussing another placement which the parents are likely to reject anyway. Meanwhile the kid is tearing up the room, screaming throughout class, and attempting to start fights every day. It gets really bad by middle school because hormones are raging and everyone has a phone and can record and air drop anything that happens within seconds of it happening. A lot gets covered up in elementary school because fewer kids have phones and administrators are able to downplay the severity of some of the cases.
A lot gets blamed on Covid but teachers and school staff nationwide have been sounding alarm bells about lack of discipline since before the pandemic. FCPS in particular started slipping about ten years ago and probably held out relatively longer than a lot of other school systems because we did have really good ED Centers and base schools weren't afraid to send students to them if they weren't available for learning in a regular classroom.[/quote]

YUP! And it starts in kindergarten.[/quote]
