[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.

Nothing has gotten better.

Kids are still well below grade level. [b]Kids do not know how to socialize. [/b]Kids do not know how to behave. Kids just do not care. Honestly, the families do not seem to care either. [/quote]

Because you’re taught to be quiet in school from the very beginning.[/quote]

Elementary teacher here who practices self-control with students each day. In an effective classroom, it is necessary for students to be quiet at times AND engage in cooperative work while verbally communicating. BOTH are important. I think the previous poster was not saying that students today don’t know how to talk to each other. Newsflash- they do! But many lost ground on pro-social skills.[/quote]

Many of those kids are allowed to behave that way at home and know there are no real consequences for poor behavior at school.  Parents think it is the schools problem vs. telling the kids if they get in trouble at school, they get in trouble at home.  Parents also are not modeling the behavior.  If you name call and belittle your kids, they will do the same to others.  If you tease and bully, they will do the same.  Social skills start at home.[/quote]
