[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the input of the teachers here; they are the front lines experience. All I have is what I saw in 15 years of DCPS, and the thing that really struck me was the parents giving their kids a permission structure to misbehave. I saw so many parents charging into the school, screaming at the staff for daring to punish their child. Just a snapshot, sure. But I can extrapolate that a lot... whereas when I was a kid, getting detention at school meant being grounded at home, now getting a detention at school means getting to watch your mom make the assistant principal cry. And of course, teachers learn. If you boot the chaotic kid from your class, next thing you know you have to have mediation, or get written up because the parent threatens a lawsuit. [/quote]
