[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high school kids complain about this all the time as their school's solution is to lock all the bathrooms. Their thought is that everyone, including staff, knows exactly who the 20 are so main instigators and problem students are. The kids causing trouble in the bathrooms and skipping classes are a small group of kids ruining things for everyone. They want the schools to come down hard on those kids instead of giving them repeat chances to continue to cause problems for everyone else. I think that their parents raise holy hell when their kids get in trouble. Or maybe the kids have IEPs or special circumstances where they are allowed extra leniency for behaviors. Who knows. But my kids think punishing that small group of kids, mostly a rolling group of underclassmen, will improve things school wide. Gatehouse AND parents need to support school administrators and teachers in putting discipline back intk scholls, starting in elementary school. Punishing the majority to accomodate or make things easier for a small minority simply does not work.[/quote] They need to repeal the laws that prevent public schools from permanently expelling students that cannot behave. Frankly it doesn’t matter why these kids cannot behave. If they are consistently disrupting class and harming other students education they need to be banned from school permanently. No exceptions or excuses. [/quote]
