[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line, there are too many dysregulated students in the classroom.   Once you get up to three or four out of control dysregulated students a teacher can't teach.  They will be struggling just to maintain control of the classroom.   Even having only one or two having a bad day can make everyone miserable as that child will try to distract others to gain attention/ avoid work.

We need more actual therapists in the schools if society expects schools to address student severe emotional needs Not thinking that having teachers look at powerpoints for training suddenly makes us into therapists for a class of 35.

We need calming rooms, physical space with tools to deescalate students, more time to discuss individual students so that staff can be consistent, extra staff who can pull out dysregulated students and still work on their academic needs without disrupting class or violating federal rules, we need to hold students accountable for their choices, and we need to require parent meetings for consistently bad behavior.    Unfortunately, sometimes the only way to see a change is to inconvenience the parents.

Finally, we need to get reinstate attendance/lateness policies and get rid of the 50% rule.  Right now students are basically allowed to wander a school building, refuse to go to class, disrupt/invade classrooms and then turn in a few assignments at the end of a quarter and pass with a D.  Yes I have seen this happen repeatedly.  It happened before the pandemic but we basically had tends of thousands of students living without a lot of good adult supervision running around like wild ponies for a year and half.  In school they have become resistant to redirection and intervention.[/quote]

I completely agree with this.  I am at the elementary level ( non classroom ) and many teachers at my school are at their wit’s end.   There are 2-3 students in every class that make learning very difficult.  It doesn’t help that we have been testing testing testing for the last couple of weeks.  Classroom support is used for testing and kids have less consistency in their daily schedules.   In addition, staff is out for Covid or taking care of family with Covid.  [/quote]
