[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s almost as if many, many of their other friends and cousins and neighbor kids are already enjoying summer break, and the ridiculous school year that your leadership has created and stretched out instead of building in an appropriate amount of weather event dates is causing the kids to be fatigued and ready for summer already. [/quote]

Op here--trust me I am not happy with my leadership about this and many other things. But these behaviors aren't the "I'm bored and antsy for summer! So hard to concentrate!" Behaviors. These are the--IDGAF when someone tells me to sit down in the cafeteria for the 10th time, I will throw food across 3 tables just to piss off the cafeteria monitor. It's the I'm going to start a fight on the playground and kick and hurt the admin when they come to break it up. I will scream my head off when I don't get my way and it's so loud it makes other kids cry. That kind of thing. It's not excessive giggling or the lines in the hallways being crazy because they're all wiggly that has been happening the last week of school for a thousand years. It's all very amplified this year. And they just don't care, which is scary. Because the teachers can't keep any semblance of control unless the students are taught to respect adults, and if that dwindles--the education system as we know it will be in crisis. It already is, but it's not yet at the tipping point. Imagine where your kids would go if there just weren't enough humans to safely staff a school. There won't be schools! Then where will your kids go during the day to learn and be careful for while parents work? How will we have an educated populace? I'm truly worried about this. [/quote]

This is sad. Probably a lot of issues going on here. Teachers aren't teaching any new material, and haven't been for the past month for the most part, so students aren't learning anything - boredom might be a factor, along with stress and the need for attention/stimulation. And of course some parents in some of these schools don't seem to have control over their children and aren't making sure their children don't mistreat others, but that has always been a problem.

My kids aren't experiencing this at their schools, thankfully. I'm taking that these are schools in rougher, lower income areas like Silver Spring?[/quote]

Funny, my Silver Spring kid hasn’t experienced this. But go ahead with the insults if you must. [/quote]

Mine had also not experienced these problems.

But this also be a reminder that kids from rich neighborhoods can be just as bratty and entitled and misbehaving. [/quote]
