Also had to do extra work, clean up trash, stay after school, sit with their head down, and even got paddled once or twice. Nowadays, teachers won't make kids write because they don't want them to hate writing. So what's the punishment now? Nothing. Kids can do pretty much whatever they want!

Expand There has been a major breakdown in what is allowed as discipline in the public school system at least here in my district. The main problem as I it see is that parents would rather take on the superintendent than take on responsibility for their children's behavior. Children are used to being able to shout down and argue with their parents and then bring that same attitude to school. It's a shame.

Expand You and I would have enjoyed working together. I have spent a large part of my career teaching "behavior" kids in a self contained class. Those parents knew what they had and weren't the ones I have to worry about. It's the disrespectful entitled "angel" that goes home and doesn't quite get the story right when they tell it. I am fortunate to have administrators at my school that typically won't let a teenager run the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
