[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it’s getting old to keep pointing to Covid, but I genuinely think this particular cohort—mostly the current 7th graders, also likely some current 6th and 8th graders—missed a key window of social development after spending a full year in virtual school (for today’s 7th graders, that meant the second half of 1st grade and almost all of 2nd). At my DC’s elementary school, the administration could not wait for that 6th grade group to move on because their collective behavior was the worst they’d seen, and that same cohort came back noticeably more challenging in 3rd grade than they had been in 1st. I don’t have a student at Carson, but at another FCPS middle school, horseplay seems to be pretty common. This isn’t to excuse the behavior, just to offer a possible explanation for why it seems to be increasing.[/quote]

Parents have completely failed at parenting if their kids are so socially-stunted that they are unable to function as civilized humans. What have these parents been [i]doing[/i] for the past 4.5 years, since school returned to in-person instruction? Clearly they haven't been doing their job.

If they are relying on school to "socialize" their children, they've failed as parents.

If they are blaming the lock down that was 4.5 to 5.5 years ago, for their children's sociopathic behavior, they've failed as parents.

My kids can be challenging at times, but we nip that in the bud. If we ever hear that they are misbehaving at school-- causing disruption, destroying property, being rude, or constantly touching others-- they will face consequences and loss of privileges at home,  and I will beg the schools to also assign consequences. There is no excuse for acting feral.
