[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen teachers let kids bully. [/quote]

Kids are bullies because their parents raised them that way. Your kid being a menace is not the fault of a teacher that's known them for 3 months. Also, you must be oblivious but telling a kid to "stop being mean" doesn't work! Neither does contacting parents or asking them to apologize. So what would you suggest the next step be?

FYI: We can NOT suspend kids in DCPS  :lol: [/quote]

it's amazing that you don't realize that there are actually evidence-based behavioral approaches to address aggression.  THIS is why parents have to go whole-hog and hire lawyers and consultants and get in-class evaluations.  because schools basically sit there like "durrrrr, your kid is bad!"[/quote]

I posted above about separating kids.  I wonder if this kind of response is what makes teachers feel overwhelmed and undervalued.  Saying that there are evidence based behavioral approaches to reduce aggressive behavior sounds like you are talking down to the teacher, there is a lot of work that the teacher needs to do to address this child’s aggression, and finally, the teacher is somehow responsible for helping children manage their emotions.

No wonder teachers feel that they don’t have enough resources to do this and push it back onto parents.  [/quote]
