[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a longtime mcps parent, I’m shocked by the lack of discipline in middle and high schools.

The schools seemingly have control in elementary, and then they lose it in middle school.

My theory is they set the tone for a big free for all by not enforcing order as kids switch classes. There’s no control. Once you’ve lost control, you can’t get it back.

Private schools don’t have these issues—even inner city parochial schools. [/quote]

Yes, it helps when you can just dump any student you don't want onto the public schools.[/quote]

Lots of us went to public school and did not experience lack of discipline.  The actual problem is mainstreaming everyone.  There is no other option to send kids to, so they have no fear.[/quote]

I'm not sure blaming kids with special needs is the way forward here. Other potential issues include widening income inequalities, the impossibility of making ends meet on minimum wage, the "war on drugs" and its disproportionate impact on families of color, and a fraying social safety net.

The social justice laundry list you give names things that have all been present for a long long time. What is new is the bad disciplinary policies.[/quote]
