[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I’ve seen some of that, but the kids aren’t annoying on purpose, they’re impulsive and/or anxious...[/quote]

Oh, that is right. We don’t discipline or show accountability. We make excuses and turn it into something that should be tolerated by the masses.   :roll: [/quote]

It is obvious the parents on the defense here have these kids and think it is bad that other people find them problematic and are trying to turn them into victims.  ALL the kids are anxious. Mine literally was diagnosed with anxiety and SPD last year.  But that sure doesn't give her a free ticket to unmute herself to call out, type inappropriate messages on the chat, and disrupt in other ways as well. There is no excuse for that.  And yes, I work FT and I am extremely busy since rates are so low.  But I make the time to make sure I am involved with both of my kid's schooling (2nd and 4th) even if it means I work 1-2 hours after they go to bed at night.  It is called parenting and many parents don't know how.  They want to turn a blind eye and not deal with it.  [/quote]

Glad your kid responds to stress in a way that is acceptable. Not all kids do. So when you say "it's called parenting" you are just showing how ignorant and judgmental you are. Not surprisingly, you have a daughter, not a son.....[/quote]

So you think if your child is stressed, they should be allowed to disrupt the class over and over again?  You just allow it and say it is stress. You don't have any parental control to say you absolutely can not unmute and disrupt.  You can not say no typing comments?  Really?   What the heck?  And it shouldn't matter what sex her kids are.  That means nothing and is sexist.  We aren't talking about 6 hours a day anymore.  1 hour.  Your kid needs to follow directions with a teacher for 1 hour and if they can't, it needs to be addressed by you, the parent.  Not wait until a teacher has to roll her eyes for the millionth time and then reluctantly send you an email.  Because she knows she is going to hear the same BS and excuses you are spewing here.

Every kid does something here or there and as long as parents are on top of it, it resolves fairly quickly.  The ones doing it daily just have parents who don't care.  If they were problems in the class and now on the online classes, nothing will ever be done. I wish kids couldn't unmute. There has to be a way a teacher can overrule that.  It is unbelievable how ballsy and rude some young kids are. One kid yesterday was non stop and my DS said he was circling his face, putting backgrounds behind him, making faces and then unmuting to make farting noises and then muting aga
in and denying it.  It makes the entire hour a waste.  This is 5th grade, not a younger grade by the way.  [/quote]

I thought MCPS was spending last week and this week reconnecting with kids and making sure they could do the online work (i.e., get online) and make sure they were okay. Do you not see that this kid has a problem? I get it that you only care about your own kid, but I don't think that's an admirable quality. I would hope teachers cared about each of their students, not just the easy ones.[/quote]
