[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how many people whose kids with witnessing illegal or violent behavior are withdrawing your students. [/quote]

I’m not. Most everything discussed, excluding the girl pushing the boy down the stairs—only because we didn’t have any, happened at my middle school. Pretty normal, IMHO. I think DC has a large number of pearl-clutching parents who want their kids to have some small town middle school experience. They just can’t deal with the reality that their children are attending a large urban middle school so [b]they lash out at minorities, OOB, and poor kids. [/b]They have a chip on their shoulder that they can’t afford Sidwell or St. Albans/NCS.[/quote]

But are these the kids, generally, who are causing the problems? Be honest.[/quote]

I have to say my kid seems to get harassed by all types - boys, girls, black, white, from “good homes” - and I am counting those who one would expect had good home training. [/quote]

At our ES, many of the worst behavior problems are from UMC homes. The parents are either oblivious, or have given up.

I attended an elementary school in another state. Many of the parents were professors at a nationally ranked university. Plenty of behavior problems there. Either the parents were checked out, or the kids had severe ADHD.[/quote]
