[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, as a parent what are you doing about it. [/quote]

I work in a school. That's how I know the behaviors are bad--I see it first hand. I work with different grades and it's bad all around.

In my opinion--parents care more about being friends with their kids than disciplining. Students don't respect adults anymore. [/quote]

The kids are in your care at school. You need to set boundaries and enforce rules. You need to retain control. [/quote]

Agree, teachers and administrators need to take back control but they cannot do it without parents support and parents reinforcing the consequences at home to.  If our kids got in trouble at school (and it was appropriate to get in trouble), they got consequences at home too.[/quote]

If there’s no communication from a teacher and my child gets all As and Bs on his report card then on what basis do I have to suspect he is behaving badly at school?

At home he has consequences if Canvas show’s work is late even though there’s no penalties from teachers.

At home he has consequences if he is not leaving the house fifteen minutes before school starts because that is enough time to be on time even with the backup in the school drop off lane. He doesn’t have any penalties for showing up late from his teachers.

At home he has consequences for grades C or lower on assessments or assignments. We require to see test corrections and rewrites to make sure he learns from his mistakes. Very rarely are there consequences from the teachers.

So if my child behaves better at home than at school it’s because we have higher expectations for his behavior at home and there are consequences if he doesn’t meet those expectations. The Student Code of Conduct has largely been ignored for years by teachers so without notes home, I am at a loss as to what a teacher expects a parent to do about behavior they don’t know about.

Set higher expectations, enforce the Code of Conduct, and student behavior will approve. When was the last time a student missed recess, had detention, was sent to the Principal, or you contacted a parent? [/quote]
