[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an MCPS high school. It was interesting to read the article which focuses on the elementary school perspective. High schools are out of control and it is mainly due to the lack of structure and consequences. Certainly people and children have changed since the pandemic, but kids respond to structure. Put rules in place with consequences, and most kids will conform to reasonable behavioral norms.

It's frustrating to watch BOE meetings knowing they have no idea what really goes on in schools. I'd love for BOE members and MCPS higher ups to visit schools - unannounced - and just see what goes on in a normal day. Maybe substitute teach occasionally to get a glimpse in the day in the life of students and staff. (Not announced tours with the Principal where everyone is on their best behavior).

The kids need rules, consequences and structure. Most will rise to the occasion.[/quote]

Our principal is weak and cares more about being friends than anything.  It was much better run when we had an intern who was tuffer.  BOE members don’t care.  It’s all for show.  [/quote]
