[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. Occasional fights and obnoxious behavior are normal for middle school. Happens EVERYWHERE. The real test for me is how the adults at the school handle it. Do they deal with it in a way that discourages the possibility of more outbursts, or in a way that encourages more chaos.[/quote] It's a matter of degree. Some schools are clearly better than others at setting expectations of their students. I've put three kids through middle school at a local private, never heard of a fight. One student threatened another once, and by the next morning was an ex-student. Afternoon dismissal is very calm, the school is required by zoning to have two off-duty police officers directing traffic, nobody tries anything. I can remember one incident when a student made a rude gesture to a driver, the driver snapped a cell phone picture and emailed it to the school, there was hell to pay for the kid.[/quote]
