[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the pandemic that changed kids.  Students are focused on phones so much now that real life contact is often less significant than 24 hr online access.    Parenting has also changed to be less authoritarian and more based on guidance and self regulation.  Many families are not equipped to handle this well particularly in latch-key situations.  Most teachers have relied on assignments on MYMCPS to help get kids caught up when they are absent, but that also makes it easier for students to not show up at all and still pass a class.[/quote]

So:
- stop reliance on screens for instruction
- ban phones in schools
- kids that don't attend don't pass
- stop blaming parenting for the consequences of not doing the above[/quote]

So defensive. Sounds like you know your parenting is a huge part of the problem and you don’t want to accept accountability for that. Don’t give your kid a phone or electronics then. Nip the problem at home. Ensure your kid goes to school. All things you could be doing from home but nah, you’d rather blame everyone else and have other people do the heavy lifting for you.[/quote]
