[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you really needed to vent. That’s interesting and sad about the difference in students. My 8 yo gets really frustrated that entitled classmates won’t listen to the teachers and then their parents blame the teachers for yelling. Certainly they will not win teacher of the year, but my DC and I do feel sorry for those scapegoated teachers. [/quote]

Same and I have an 8 year old too. She’s been talking about her teacher crying a lot and kids in the class aren’t listening. It is a bit like lord of the flies when I visit. They recently assigned her class a teachers aide.

But my other kid is in PreK and I volunteer often. The kids sit like angels and they have much better attention spans. They love to be read to. These preK kids weren’t affected by Covid because they were babies. And they haven’t yet been assigned their school chrome book. I hate that all the kids get laptops in public school. The PreK is private so maybe that’s a factor too?[/quote]
I’m the PP you responded to. That’s awful about the teacher getting so demoralized. PreK was heaven in retrospect compared to public elementary school. The teachers  cared for the most part, and got to know each student.

In ES, student behavior seems to start to get unruly starting in 2nd grade. I’m not thrilled with the overuse of laptops either-they seem to have a lot of time to play games. When I was in ES, disruptive students were dealt with and not allowed to take over the classroom. I don’t know why this seems to be a foreign concept now.[/quote]
