[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not OP. Question for teachers and former teachers: one big complaint I hear is "lack of admin support" and it seems like it relates a lot to discipline. My impression is that teachers in some schools (like ones who have poorly implemented a MTSS system) struggle with classroom management because their consequences for bad behavior don't have teeth, since the consequences you can give for bad behavior inside the classroom can only go so far.

Is this correct? If so, is it isolated or is it only at some schools? Or are teachers who struggle with this just not very good teachers? [/quote]

On the flip side, I think as a parent that teachers are feeling a huge push to be kind and nice and to not discipline at all. How do I sign my kids up for an old school strict teacher? The kind that has then organized to perfection, labeling and double checking their work. My dd is very forgetful and when I've chided her for forgetting something she will say "don't worry, my teacher says it's okay if things are late and that she won't take off for it." I'm not the only one who asked for a strict teacher either. Executive functioning skills are sorely lacking in kids.[/quote]

I remember being paddled so many times in first grade. Back then, parents totally supported this type of discipline, so there was no holding back.[/quote]
