[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can DCI parents please elaborate on discipline concerns? What kind of disruptive behavior takes place and how do teacher's respond?  Wondering if the behavior problems prevent kids from doing better, i.e test scores. TIA[/quote]

It's a big problem in the classroom, in after school activities, in team sports. I feel bad for the teachers and coaches that they can't control their classrooms and get respect from the students.  It affects the rest of the class, who is trying to learn when every 5 minutes, class needs to stop to address the behavior issues. [/quote]

OMG. These are middle schoolers! From what I've seen (2nd yr) the kids are pretty typical. Yes, there are kids how choose to play video games & watch Netflix in class but I fault the school for setting up the temptation. They claim kids have a choice whether to watch movies or learn. I find it ironic the same school mandates no caffeine drinks. Why not let kids "choose" third beverage?

Its the whack a mole with games/movies/Instagram that teachers are tied up with. How can anyone teach in that environment is beyond me.[/quote]
