[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most if not all of the problems cited on this thread (by educators) apply to most public school systems.  To imply its only a problem in FCPS is foolish.[/quote]

Therefore nothing should change in FCPS?[/quote]

DP, no, but to say it's a problem *with FCPS* is not understanding the issue.

Education has changed (in some ways for the better, in other ways not) and demographics have changed.  And somehow, behavior has changed as well.  As an UMC parent, I see it but don't understand it.  [b]There's that one infamous pschologist who thinks it's caused by the lack of spanking.  I don't agree with that, but there's definitely something[/b].[/quote]
It's in the same vein... lack of discipline. It's all the "everyone gets a trophy for trying" mentality, too.  Too many parents trying to be friends with their kids, or too tired to really discipline.  I get it.. it's a lot of work and requires tons of patience, which I don't have much of, either.

When you see teens talking back to their parents or other adults, some parents see it as "oh, they are just expressing themselves" rather than disciplining their kids. There's a difference between rudely talking back and expressing your views.

Then there are those parents who use their kids' "SN" as an excuse for poor behavior.[/quote]
