[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one point: how are parents supposed to know about and address "talking during class, getting up and stomping out of the classroom" even what kinds of questions they ask in class -- maybe you should be addressing high school teachers. Parents get zero information about what their kids are like in school.[/quote]

How about you just teach general respectful behaviors and emotional regulation.

The responses from so many of the defensive parents on here are embarrassing.[/quote]

I said nothing defensive.  As far as I know, all kids are respectful in the classroom, as they are at home. If they aren’t, then that’s terrible; only the teachers know about that and only the teachers can correct that behavior or at least tell someone about it.[/quote]

Adding "calling home every time a student is disrespectful" or "stopping class to comment on disrespect every time it happens" to the long list of things that keep teachers from actually spending their time on teaching, preparing lessons, grading, etc. is not a viable option.

Maybe a secondary grade (that doesn't get reported to colleges) commenting on behavior in class should go along with the academic letter grade for each class. Unfortunately, the parents most likely to notice and act on that would probably be the least likely to have kids with issues.[/quote]

I don’t think teachers should do that. The point is that the Prof is under the misimpression that parents know what is going on in high school classrooms. [/quote]
