[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted about evacuating the class to the closet. These are not run of the mill behaviors that cause this. I've seen more serious behaviors over the last 10 years. A lot of kids have never heard the word "no" in their homes. Their homes are often chaotic and they don't have stable families. These kids have very reactive personalities. They explode about little things. There are many transitions that occur during a school day and they often can't deal with it. You can't just send them to the office. Sometimes they elope from the classroom and you have to text an admin to go get them. Other times, they start yelling and screaming and overturn furniture, throw school supplies, etc.[/quote]
I have noticed the escalation too. In my observation technology plays a huge part. Many kids get violent when their preferred activity is not available or has ended (iPad) these are often the same kids who obsess over video games, talk about them all day. [/quote

+1. Here is a good example of what is happening in our society, and why the schools are a mess.  Yet people will continue literally DESTROYING their kids' brains starting when they are babies.   Every day I see babies in strollers watching videos on a phone or iPad.   Is anyone really ignorant enough to believe that all of that technology isn't doing major damage?    Technology is destroying our whole culture.  It's not hyperbole.
