[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted about evacuating the class to the closet. These are not run of the mill behaviors that cause this. I've seen more serious behaviors over the last 10 years. A lot of kids have never heard the word "no" in their homes. Their homes are often chaotic and they don't have stable families. These kids have very reactive personalities. They explode about little things. There are many transitions that occur during a school day and they often can't deal with it. You can't just send them to the office. Sometimes they elope from the classroom and you have to text an admin to go get them. Other times, they start yelling and screaming and overturn furniture, throw school supplies, etc.[/quote]
I have noticed the escalation too. In my observation technology plays a huge part. Many kids get violent when their preferred activity is not available or has ended (iPad) these are often the same kids who obsess over video games, talk about them all day. [/quote]

I think it plays a part but not the biggest. There are many kids who like to play video games but parents need to have boundaries and set limits and say no. This is what I'm seeing this year-is lack of respect fro adults. We are not in charge. It's "no" and "why?" all day. I have seen kids literally talk loudly over the adults in charge because they did not get their way....I think it's because it's allowed at home. Behaviors are ignored. [/quote]
