[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A challenge for DCI that I’ve heard most about over the years is discipline, though I know that that is not uncommon for middle schools generally.

What are people’s feedback about how discipline issues are going at DCI?[/quote]

It only rises to an issue when the admin gets equity pilled and breaks up the “sink” classes. The phases ebb and flow between “wow we need to separate kids out,” “hmm seems to be working,” and then “hmm that one really bad class looks really really bad, surely things won’t get bad if we split some of those kids off.” Rinse, repeat every 5-6 years.

Right now it seems like we are on the edge of a new “hey these new streamed classes where we put the bad kids together in the sub basement really seem to be going great” phase. It’ll last 3-4 years.[/quote]

You want to make sure your kids get put in the advanced classes. I’ve not heard many behavioral issues there. [/quote]

Honestly , it’s like that at any school that tracks. [b]The kids in the high-level classes, no issues. The kids in the lower level classes are the ones that tend to act out.[/b]

At least DCI tracks for many subjects. I consider that a positive thing.[/quote]

Are you even a DCI parent? There are plenty of kids in the "lower level classes" that work hard and do not have behavioral problems. Like my one DC with a learning disability.  There are also plenty of students in my kids DCI middle and high school classes that mess around on their Chromebooks all day and are pretty disrespectful.  Smart kids can be jerks too.  [/quote]

Yes I am.  Never said everyone acts out but it’s generally a true statement that there tend to be more behavioral problems in the lower level classes.

No issues in my kid’s classes.[/quote]
