[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is tough being a teacher in DCPS. There is no student accountability. We are constantly told to excuse student behavior for a myriad of reasons but given no support for the fallout. There is a reason for the high teacher turnover rate in DCPS despite the high salaries and Deal is no exception.[/quote]

What needs to be done? What should parents do?[/quote]

In some ways Deal is worse, because they are less able to handle the more disruptive kids as they have less of them thus less experience with this population. More of a tendency to sweep under the rug and hope will disappear until the problems escalate. [/quote]

I disagree with this.  Deal admin and teachers have plenty of experience dealing with all different backgrounds and personalities of kids, including difficult kids and parents.  They do not "sweep issues under the rug".  There is a process that has to be followed and if a kid is truly a risk to the community they will make sure that it is handled within the school.

However when that kid walks out of the school, it's a whole other ballgame. So at chic-fil-a if there is a fight and someone gets their weave pulled out ....or ....let's say someone else starts a fire....or there is a fight....or someone tries to throw a chair through the window of Guapos....all things that have happened this year, well it's not the school's problem. Which is why they want the kids to get out of the school and go HOME. [/quote]
