[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]aside from the above suggestion to write to teachers expressing thanks, is there anything we can do to help?  I'd imagine not bug teachers about dumb things (my school's list serve had parents worried about the type of snacks being served, as an example), but anything else?[/quote]

How to help? Teach your kids manners and respect even if the kids around them aren't acting appropriately. Many kids act as if they have run the show at home for a year and a half and now they want to continue acting that way at school. It's been very rough with behaviors. There are plenty of kids just flat-out refusing to do anything they don't want to do. Other kids disrupt class frequently because their attention spans are non-existent. I've had some parent conferences where the students yells and mouths off to the parent during the conference and the parent actually responds to them! [/quote]

I’m assuming the PP you are responding to isn’t that kind of parent. She wants to help.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much the good parents and students can do. Occasionally, speak up when others start to blame everything on teachers. Kids are running amok in public as well. Watched three kids destroy the Halloween section in CVS yesterday. Opening candy bags while mom stood in line. They left a mess and the store will take the loss. Technically not stealing but out of control. [/quote]
