[quote=Anonymous]Much of the problem in schools is behavioral. If you don’t have order in the classroom, it’s difficult to create a good educational environment. A lot of the problems come from lack of discipline at home. But there are things that dcps can do to make their schools a more serious academic environment- and put kids in the right mindset that when they enter the school, there is a focus on academics and good behavior. Put uniforms back in schools. It really does help “professionalize” the environment. Create a tiered discipline program for late elementary, middle school and high school. Could involve mandatory parent involvement, detention, timeouts, school counselor. Do more home visits. For older kids who misbehave- mandatory afterschool study hall where they get tutoring and homework help and keep them off the streets. Take discipline seriously and create a more academically professional environment. Better teaching and education would result. [/quote]
