[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a lot of the “overworked” is more just frustration at handling behavioral issues (either directly or indirectly through not getting enough subs to agree to teach at the school due to behaviors), so why don’t teachers try to do something about the behavior? [b]Most parents want much higher behavioral expectations in the schools too.[/b] We talk so much on DCUM about wanting to change different laws, so why is nobody talking about changing whatever laws allow behaviorally disruptive kids to stay in classrooms and drive out all the good teachers? Have the teachers (either through unions or not) actually tried to change this? Or everyone just assumes it’s too hard?[/quote]

Maybe in wealthy areas but at my Title One school, most parents just don't want to be bothered. Many won't answer the phone if you call them during the day. No kidding. They ignore other communications too.[/quote]

Okay, so maybe “most voters” is a better thing to say. Most voters want higher expectations for behavior in our schools. The schools are government institutions funded by taxpayers, so what we want for our country is how it should be.[/quote]
