[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be willing to be a sub if they fixed discipline issues. [/quote]

The tricky thing is that most, not all, kids with "behavior issues" have an IEP in place and therefore untouchable. 
Little Johnny talks back, won't sit still for story time, and pushes other kids, and has anger issues...sorry. can't do anything except redirect and hope the counselor will arrive soon for his small group session per his IEP....and meanwhile there are probably 10 other kids with some sort IEP in place for something.[/quote]

I subbed for a week in a classroom that had several kids like this.  Wouldn’t join the rest of the class, constantly interrupting and bothering the other kids, refused to line up for specials, climbed into the storage cabinets, constantly made us late… I was told to simply “deal with it,” as the front office frowned on sending kids there for discipline.  So I dealt with it by never subbing at that school again.[/quote]

This is another thing that has became normal in school. “Teacher managed” vs “Admin managed” behaviors. Behaviors in the teacher managed side include minor hitting and kicking, spitting, cursing, disrespect, and insubordination. Admin managed is hate speech/bullying, very inappropriate computer searches, major violence, or inappropriate touch. If the behavior doesn’t fall into those categories we are not supposed to send them to the office or refer them. I don’t know if this is district policy or just my school.[/quote]

Sadly, this is district policy. It has to be MAJOR for it to be admin managed.[/quote]
