[quote=Anonymous]"[b]Honestly, it's the behavior issues that get to me most right now since I've had my own kids. I have many lovely students with lovely, involved families but it's the select few that take up most of my patience. I could probably even deal with the behavior issues if the little time I have without students during the day wasn't micromanaged beyond belief due to one new initiative or another. To the posters who are ready to pounce on the FARMS issue--I don't even know who is FARMS and who is not (that info is confidential), so please don't use my personal experience as "evidence" to support your agenda when the students I'm referring to may not even be FARMS.

This. After over 25 years of teaching, I can honestly say this is the largest issue. I'm constantly putting out fires and really, it's the other kids that all lose out. I've learned that private school might be the way to go- no kid should have  to sit through the nonsense all day long provided by the two to three to ten kids in the class with serious, unrelenting, and disruptive behavior problems. Admin does nothing as they have all been warned about excessive consequences. There are NO consequences..we are supposed to be therapists, psychologists, prison guards, and medicine givers. I am able to do very little teaching considering how much behavior I deal with. I would steer young teachers away from this as a career choice,as now teachers are accountable for so much they have no control over.[/quote]
