[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think enough criticism or scrutiny is being aimed at MSDE. Some of these idiotic policies are being driven by equally idiotic demands, audits, arbitrary metrics, etc. from the bureaucrats in Annapolis. [/quote]

yup, just check out the latest House Bill which further gets rid of part of the MD Education Code regarding class behavior.  Those students who hang in the hallways missing class, can now hang in the classroom instead doing whatever it is they do all day besides learn.  https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2024RS/bills/hb/hb0615f.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1iaM76rX0dI-kcjsgZBpjKIMGlDa_kXp5ExGWQG43gR9mtwm8IZgHUyqM [/quote]

Success in public school, much like success in most of life, depends mostly on parenting. Kids who hang in hallways missing class have parents who likely were also hanging in hallways missing class. Failures breed failures. [/quote]

Please stop blaming parents. If my kid isn’t in class- should I quit my job and walk them to and from? Of course not. Im going to address it at home of course, but there’s very little I can do while they are in school. I don’t control the environment in the schools. We need to give schools the ability to give detentions/suspensions/etc over things like this. The kids know they can get away with it at school- which just undermines my ability to parent my child. So stop blaming us.[/quote]

If my kid didn't go to class and I was informed of it, that would be the last time it happened. You are a lazy parent if you think you influence ends at the front door.[/quote]

So big gut, I mean guy tell us exactly what you would do if they refused to go?[/quote]
DP but seriously! Is this a real question as a parent?
You mean to tell us that if your kids "refused to go" to school, you will just let them?
My goodness! [/quote]
By middle school, some kids are larger than their parents. What would you do if physically resisted? Call the police?[/quote]

If they are resisting, something more is going on at that age and you need to start with a mental health evaluation and a school change.

The do nothing attitude is why kids behave like this.  There are no consequences.[/quote]

Exactly.  If by middle school your child is a physical threat to you, you need other intervention.

If your child is more typically developing, you have to set the boundaries and hold them.[/quote]
