Classroom chaos: Disruptive students force teachers to evacuate classes for safety

[@davidkelly1896]

Problem stems from lack of discipline from parents! Period!

[@Buffalolil]

In daycare or school, these kids are in groups. Less teaching, attention, love, guidance...the government has put a value on schools. This will not get better until these things get better. It's easy for those on top to say the west isn't getting worse but it is.

[@erynlasgalen1949]

They also lack a good role model to emulate. Children learn by example, and if you behave yourself the way you want your child to behave, very little discipline is needed.

[@iseektruth64]

I taught in middle school for one quarter and quit. Yes, QUIT. It very quickly became apparent to me that there is nothing teachers can do, neverending "de-escalation" trainings notwithstanding, if there is zero accountability on the student's part. Students are put on a pedestal as these wonderful, innocent, beings that just have "needs" that must be met and "issues" that must be taken care of and they themselves have NO responsibility whatsoever for their actions. They are not made to see that they must participate in their own learning and that what is needed from them to succeed is discipline and self control. Piling on more and more "mental health" workers and "counselors" at taxpayer expense without instilling a sense of responsibility and discipline in the students is just adding to the problem by coddling bad behaviour. It should be obvious that in a world that is full of more and more distractions every day, discipline and self control is needed even more than ever! It goes without saying that discipline and self control start at home. Our society has brought about a situation where home life for most students is characterized by little discipline and self control. By the time the students get to school the damage has been done. We will go from one training to another, from one curriculum to another, from multiple counselors and therapists to a whole set of others and things will not improve until as a society we get back to more discipline and self control!!

[@ginajoseph8776]

A year ago, I was talking with an ex public school teacher, from the San Bernardino School District, here in Califirnia. She quit her job as soon as she was able to get a halfway descent retirement, but she is still pretty young, so she decided to teach part time at a private school. She said she felt like she had died and gone to heaven. The kids and the parents were wonderful. By the way, they spend 60 percent less per student at the private school compared to the public schools and test score way higher. Go figure!

[@nan16cd]

iseektruth64 I agree with you 100%. Students must participate in their own education. They must have self discipline.-

[@KayKay0813]

AMEN! The issue begins at home. Each parent receives a rule (guidance) booklet from schools. The booklet is prefaces with notations from administration that all must adhere to the rules. It should also come with a signed letter from the principal (or superintendent as appropriate) stating that consequences for behavior issues will be strictly adhered to and infractions will be punishable (then list first time, second time etc). The third time a child acts out in a violent manner the child should be expelled and the parents put on notice with local family service officials, mandating that parents pay for tutors for their violent chld's education.. The only way to stop this is to make parents responsible for their children and children for their individual behaviors. This is what happened back in the day when I grew up and the lack of discipline in schools (I realize that schools are not allowed to administer discipline in these times) along with the shirking of responsibility by parents is creating this mess. It is not the public school system's job to raise your child, nor provide for his/her well care, including mental health.

[@nan16cd]

Nana S I agree with you 100%. If you let a child get away with doing whatever they feel like doing you are not helping that child. The child should have learned this at home. There are consequences for bad behavior in the real world. This is one lesson that parents must teach. I would like to see your ideas implemented.

@thegaygaymerchannel You doubt which part of my comment? If you google homeschool rates for the USA or CA you'll see it is only increasing year by year. Also in some states there are free K-12 online schools. "The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) estimates that the average parent spends about $300 to $600 per year, per child, on homeschooling curriculum, games, and books. However, there are plenty of ways to save money on this expense."

[@juliafox52]

@thegaygaymerchannel Homeschooling is and has been for a long time on the rise precisely for regular people: rich people can afford to pay other people to educate their children and private schools take extra good care of the rich kids. For families like mine, it was not a matter of how much it cost in the short time, but how much it would cost NOT to homeschool. Sacrifice is what good parents do. When it comes to your children, excuses are n/a.

[@griz063]

This is not even an effective band-aid. Because it will put that child back into the full-time care and supervision of that toxic ineffective parent (both toxic masculine AND toxic feminine) PLUS add an extra level of parental resentment and frustration to the equation. Do we REALLY want more crime and school shootings, because this is a wonderful recipe for them. We need to admit that whole experiment in raising children as if we are their friends and not their parents has failed, and that sometimes physical discipline is the only way to love a child enough to do what is necessary in the early years, to avoid them having to be "disciplined" by a society that really couldn't care less about them, later on. And then this needs to tie back into a woman's "procreative responsibility" to actually vet for a quality husband and father of good character (and genes) who will commit to that family and those children (and to you) for the long-haul, and allow them to interject a more masculine form of parenting. Feminism has really sabotaged this with the mis-classification of all exercises of masculine assertiveness as something "toxic". Evolution (ie, women) have groomed men for hundreds of millions of years to be able to "put their emotions in a box" and do what is necessary to get the job done. That groups of increasingly toxic women have now recently decided that what has worked for perhaps 190 million years will not longer work just because they are "liberated" (realistically, by technology and parmaceuticals). . . is horrendous.

That student does not care. Every student that I write up for bad behavior yell at me "I don't care" so let them stay at home since they do not care. Because they do not care is why they are acting out. All this is common knowledge no need to keep discussing it.

Until we can humble ourselves, seek, and find Truth, and allow It to be put into motion, the current scenario will not likely change.

And just having different “majors” within the same building doesn’t really address the issue. What you need are radically different programs each in their own building to handle all of the various problems, due to behavior disorders, cognitive deficits, need for manual arts training rather than academics, and so forth. And people in each different program who fail to toe the line need to be immediately removed to be transferred to a more appropriate program. So in other words, no more phony simulated programs which in reality are nothing but babysitting for overgrown Neanderthalic throw-backs.

I have tended to agree with you. At a minimum, schools have to empower teachers to enforce discipline.

These rage-filled kids are living in some kind of earthly hell, and they need someone to extend a hand. (I guess the left has a point on that.) Even if the solution is to pour money into some kind of alternative school with military-like levels of discipline and attention to detail, then we should do it. That is, if a kid refuses to conform to norms of civilization, then off he goes to the alternative school. After a certain level of achievement there, he can choose to return to regular school. I guess that would take a signature from the parent(s), but if the average out of control, seething with rage kid is the product of a family that doesn't love him/won't take care of him, it's easy to hypothesize that they'd be more than happy to get him shipped out.

As a teacher I can tell you that part of the problem is that teachers are not allowed to manage their classroom and classroom the way the used to. A lot of it has to do w/ a change in laws, change in school mandates / regulations. However, going back further a lot of it also has to do w/ the way PTA's in decades past FORCED certain rules and stipulations on schools, teacher, school administrations, etc. Those changes ultimately left teachers helpless, and having to fend for themselves when it comes to classroom 'fallout'. One change (which has been the norm for at least 2 decades) is that now teachers are no longer allowed (in some school districts) to send the 'bad actors' down the hallway to the principal's office. Back in the day when principals were more involved in handling behavioral issues there was no such thing as, 'classroom clearances'. That would be unheard of. It used to be that if a child was acting up or out of control they were sent to the office. Now, this is not allowed. What teachers have to do now is keep the out of control child in their classroom. Which does nothing to classroom authority. Rather, it allows other kids to get a glimpse of how to misbehave, get out of doing work, and ultimately get the teacher, school, school staff, and others bend to the way and will of the errant student. Not good. Not good at all. This TOTALLY sends the WRONG message overall. We need to get back to the time when there was a sense of law and order in the classroom. Teachers should be given more authority in their classroom and principals need to stop shifting blame.

[@jtoms3]

Kudos to the interviewer for asking real questions that need to be answered and of course the administrator only had the usual ridiculous non-answers that are only helping to drive teachers out of education.

[@OmegaWolf747]

My solution would be to restore the power in the classroom that teachers used to have. In the 19th century, the teacher was the master of the schoolhouse. Trouble causers could be kicked out of the room if they didn't toe the line. These days, teachers have been reduced to babysitters for these unruly brats and often have to neglect the well behaved kids so they can do "intervention" for the little trouble causers.

[@griz063]

I think it's a bit of a boondoggle to try to pin these events just on "an event at home" or "a mental/psychological issue. Because kids have suffered these things since time immemorial and not responded in these sorts of ways. The problem is lacking effective discipline, and not excusing (or even rewarding!) anti-social behavior. (ie, a child's anti-social behavior allows them to control an entire classroom; perhaps even multiple classrooms as the kids are taken to another one for "safety"). I cannot believe a body of adults who are allegedly well-educated in aspects of behavioral and developmental psychology, early childhood education and cognitive development would fail to recognize that children have always faced these challenges. And I would suggest that it's a logistical fallacy to trying to associate a brand new behavioral phenomena, with things that have always existed without causing this phenomena. This could well be a spin on one of the classic definitions of insanity. So much in how adults are responding to these children, is daft. (ie, "remove the audience" rather than just remove the problem child with physical force if necessary. It is false to say they the involvement is just with the problem child so the other children's parents are not informed. They involve the well behaving children by ending their education session to leave the room)

[@juliekennedy9891]

Also, I agree that he phrased it poorly-but legally, you can’t really speak, as an adult, about the discipline and interventions provided to another parent’s child. This is a confidentiality issue. So, yes, your child may witness discipline or interventions such as clearing a room-and your child may speak about it. But as the professional, we cannot tell parent A about the interventions provided to student B. That is a total violation of a few laws.

[@griz063]

@@juliekennedy9891 But isn't this EXACTLY what "professionals" have done in our schools by setting themselves up as the "judge-prosecutors-jury" of what is and isn't abuse in the home when it comes to discipline? I was a young adult in the era when teachers would not just "assess" for toxic punishment in the home . . . they would actively pry and push and groom children to say what they wanted so they could direct Children's Services to swoop in and destroy a family for all time. We can talk about "violations of law". But what about violations of trust and ethics when it comes to the very thing that teachers are now trying to be oh, so noble and law-abiding about?? The current issue with children disrupting and owning the classroom and being rewarded for it in the eyes of all the other children. . . is directly caused by what teachers a generation ago decided was "their authority" with only a "law of superior compassion over parents" to back it up. And now we're to a place where in some regions of America, like Va, Ca and TN, we're to the point where teachers, school boards and even flubby would-be Governors are saying in essence the children belong to the State and the parents should just have the children and give them to a disproportionate number of childless women to raise according to "wokeness" morals substituting as "educational cirriculum". And if you question them they will run to AG Merrick Garland to have the parents declared terrorists. Teachers and the public education system have MUCH to answer for. Not just the teachers and school boards that actively plied this communist nonsense, but those who stood quietly by let it happen.

[@juliekennedy9891]

@@griz063 I would be interested to know where you are getting all of this information from. Because it is so much conjecture and full-on biased paranoia. I teach in CA-in one of its conservative areas. I have NEVER heard, as a teacher, that we should push and pry when it comes to concerns of abuse. In fact, we are told, over and over again, to not ask questions or investigate. That ruins the entire situation for ALL involved. I had to call CPS the other day because a kiddo was talking about the nice homes that her family owns, I said “Man, what does your dad do for a living?“ ( innocent question-thought she was like going to say that he worked in finance or real estate), and then she spilled out that he sells drugs “as a side hustle” and it is scary when people come to her house looking for him and his drugs. I told my admin what happened and made it VERY clear that I asked the child no questions once she mentioned the drugs or anything that I was concerned about. And my admin PRAISED me for following protocol. Secondly, we are encouraged to not share political ideologies with our students. And even in liberal CA, more than 40% of teachers are registered as Republicans. At my school, the vast majority of staff considers itself conservative. Also, I have only ever heard parents described by admin and teacher programs as useful partners in a child’s education. I will agree that many teachers can be frustrated by parents behaviors sometimes-but that is because of valid concerns. For example, I teach in the poorest town in CA-and so, many of my parents have little education. The average parent for my student has less than a high school diploma. And many of our parents actively encourage their children to drop out of high school. That is frustrating and hard. Or, I have had a student whose parents are intellectually disabled (IQ below a certain threshold) themselves refuse to put their child in the classroom for people with intellectual disabilities despite the child being in 10th grade and not knowing all her letters. And many of my parents provide their children with unstable home lives-I keep a post-it note on my desk for the one boy who has 8 sibling on campus ( I teach high school) with 7 different parental figures-and it can be hard to watch those results affect their children. The majority of my students have never lived in a home with two parents. BUT, I still respect that my students’ parents love their children so very much and are doing their absolute best to raise them. The parents don’t need to know any frustration or sadness that I have. And the parents know their kiddos better than I ever will. Lastly, I know that some places are moving towards not telling parents about things like trans identity-BUT that isn’t even true statewide in a liberal place like CA. I know many educators, such as myself, who have made it clear that we will never be dishonest with parents about their children. And my admin has understood that!
