My oldest started in a school overseas. Never any behavior problems there. The kids, including my son were TERRIFIED to get sent to the principals office and get a write up. This mindset was instilled from Kindergarten. We then moved back to FCPS for grade 2 and the classroom was a zoo, kids wandering allover the classroom, out of control talking, nobody ever went to the principal, games going on the computer during class etc. My son quickly realized he too can do these things without consequence. It's been a rough ride. [/quote]

[b]Our principal says he doesn’t want to be the one giving out consequences or reading a kid the riot act because he wants them to perceive him as an ally and someone in their corner. [/b]Our counselors do this whole “oh, you feel like Ms. Smith is targeting you? What could she do differently?” thing. And then they put the teacher and student in a room to mediate and “repair the relationship” and the student brags about how he got the teacher in trouble.

Basically nothing negative is to happen to a child, ever, and if a child feels something negative, the teacher is expected to fix it. [/quote]

This is nonsense and one reason why no one should be in an admin role unless 1. They’ve been a classroom teacher for at least 10 years and 2. They are required to sub in every classroom on a rotating basis for at least half a day throughout the school year. [/quote]
