[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question - are these behavioral issues limited to public schools? Are these problems still popping up in various upscale private schools in the area? [/quote]

Private schools don't have to allow misbehaviors.  Public schools have to take everybody.  I teach at a public school and our kids go to well-known DMV private schools.  In general there is a huge difference in parental expectations and child behaviors.  Our kids and their friends don't misbehave because they know their parents won't tolerate it.  At public schools it seems like some (only some) seem to actually encourage bad behavior in their kids.[/quote]

There’s misbehavior in private schools. It is tolerated if the parents are big donors. [/quote]

Mmmmm...there is a difference.  I'm talking about classroom disruptions.  If you think that is tolerated you're crazy.  The better DMV privates don't tolerate that because the other parents won't tolerate it.  When you have 20 parents paying over $50k a year and 1 kid is being a classroom disruption, you can bet that the school listens to the 19 sets of parents, not the 1.  Will the private turn a blind eye to non-school flagrancies?  Maybe.  It really depends on what they are.  But for classroom behavior you can bet that the better privates run tight ships.[/quote]
