[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our schools are operating more and more like jails. [/quote]

Yes. Minimal expectations of the kids coming in; accumulating policies and procedures imposed on all because of the relatively few; expected to be mature and responsible and ready for complete independence upon discharge.[/quote]

I blame the well-meaning parents that have undermined the schools’ and teachers’ authority.  Look at this situation- if we were actually allowed to deny a kid that’s abusing the privilege a bathroom pass, maybe we wouldn’t need all this.  [/quote]

I do believe (some) parents are part of the problem. But when I see how APS and other districts in very liberal localities misinterpret "equity" by lowering standards, how parents helicopter and believe their kids need to be protected from anything that might make them sneeze - and how that carries over to the schools and is exacerbated by teachers with the same perspective and school boards and administrations more focused on the political statements of the day rather than the best interest of effective education - I believe it's a far bigger problem than entitled bullying type parents.[/quote]
