The kids are in your care at school. You need to set boundaries and enforce rules. You need to retain control.
You're really just going to double down on not doing your job as a parent,huh? Hint: it's easier to "retain control" of kids who actually have a foundation and basic knowledge of right and wrong. Kids aren't being sent to school with these skills because parents like you expect everyone else to raise them. Do your part.
Nailed it!

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.
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?

And what are they doing in class? Watching movies. These are AP classes. Why are we potentially exposing kids to COVID to watch movies? This is stupid
My junior's AP classes are not full of movies. They're doing AP World History and AP Calculus until the bitter end, it seems!
Didn't they take the AP exams a month ago? Why are they still teaching content now -- seems a little too late.
I’m an AP teacher. We worked hard all year until the AP exam. Since then we just relaxed and had fun.
A well earned rest!
No, this is so flawed. You and your students have the entire summer to rest. TEACH something - another AP teacher
Disagree after earning a 5 on 5 AP Exams I think DC deserved a rest. Please feel free to complain. I honestly could care less about your opinion.
Your child does not have his scores yet. They come out in July. And obviously you aren't an AP teacher. Glad your "DC" isn't in my class.

As other teachers have mentioned, the level of disrespect and offensive behaviors I've seen the last five years in my elementary school are unimaginable.

The parents who we need the most won't respond to calls, texts, emails, smoke signals, etc. The students realize the Code of Conduct and RJ are a complete joke so they catch on quickly that they can do whatever they want with zero repercussions. This isn't sustainable. We (teachers, families, students) must figure out a way to correct course or we're headed for disaster. I feel like my 60-something mom but I do think the access to technology has a part in it. We as parents are sometimes distracted by our phones and might not have that focused conversation with our kids like our parents might have done with us. Just a theory..one of many I play out in my head when thinking about where we are headed.
I find it ironic for a teacher to blame technology for student misbehavior when students have had so much screen time required over the past three school years. As far as consequences, they are spelled out in the Student Code of Conduct. Did you hand out punishment for the misbehavior? Or provide a Behavioral Intervention Plan? Call a team meeting or request one with parents?
Kids will behave in school as much as they are allowed to behave when there are no consequences.
FWIW I find it ironic that a parent would blame a teacher for their horrible off-spring.

It’s been far more than three years with the heavy electronic use. We email teachers and they don’t respond. We are very very involved. The teachers are not so much depending on the teacher.

PP do not engage with this poster. He/she/they has read some documents via Google and is now an expert. We know that those steps can only go so far in the real world.

THere are plenty of kids just like you even today, but not everyone comes from the same culture so there are differences.

Well I think you're both right but have to put the blame on parents because they're really failing these kids.
