[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 [b]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. [/b] 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]

This. So much this. Ask any student or staff member and they'll tell you there are 10-20 kids who ruin it for everyone else. These are the same kids who get Uber Eats paid for by the principal or counselor for doing the absolute bare minimum while the ones who show up on time and actually do their work in class hardly get any acknowledgment.
