Do you think it would help or is it too late?
The whole article seems geared towards the TRUTH that these kids were lost causes from a lost household from the start.
What’s a board of education gonna do to fix that?
It doesn’t take a village.
It’s take 2 good parents. Or, if one passes, one really good parent.
Like my aunt Carmella, who raised 3 boys with great success by using the “spoon” when necessary :) I didn’t get hit since I wasn’t her kid. I just watched in the corner!!
Since this was 50 years ago, I dont think child services will interfere so it was ok to write this :)
And I think private schools are going to BOOM under POTUS Trump.
The intervention needed has to be profound. This is a lack of parenting.
For my money, this is the #1 issue DJT has to tackle, worthy of a national emergency: How to set up campfires (metaphorically speaking) throughout the nation and talk about parenting, the Bible, and producing moral citizens.
I started out as a special ed teacher in a state school for emotionally disturbed kids. Special education fell into disfavor. Mentally ill kids were mainstreamed into regular classrooms. Predictably chaos reigns and teachers need to have the crazy kids segregated again. My idea is that public schools should be downsized to serve special needs kids and let the normal kids go to charter, religious or private schools. It would save a lot of money.

Wallen said she didn’t feel like sending these students home was the best answer

But you think complaining to the media will work for you ???
Duh OK
Sen. Patrick Moynihan among others sounded the alarm bell on this back in the 1960's.
If they’re behaving like that at ages 5,6 and 7, they’re hard wired by that time and will likely have a lifetime of exhibiting violence.
Why do I think “Ken”’s real name is more like “Keyshawn?”
I doubt that will work since it's just a classroom extension of the violence that is likely happening at home.
No corporal punishment will not help.
These children need to be identified and removed from the schools. The younger ones need to go to homes for mentally and/ or emotionally
emotionally troubled children. To be assessed and taught according to ability.
The older ones need to go to single sex reform school where they are separated from society evaluated and the salvageable ones taught a trade. All taught how to behave decently.
Some will need to go into lifelong care in a mental institution to protect them and to protect society.
There are no other options. These are the options we had before the mental hospitals and child care homes were closed.
Also need to remove these patients rights so they can be cared for.
Overview of Bridgeview Elementary School
The school’s minority student enrollment is 27%. The student-teacher ratio is 16:1, which is worse than that of the district. The student population is made up of 48% female students and 52% male. https://shorturl.at/ZtUsJ
Not mentioned is that most kids currently in elementary school were no more than toddlers at the beginning of the “plandemic”, which tore a huge hole in the social development of children around that time, regardless of ethnic/demographic background.
Lay that one at the feet of Prez Houseplant and his minions: Birx, Fauci et al.
When I was young, the wat parents broke a child from biting was when they bit, they were bitten back. From what I recall, it never took more than twice. Most were cured after one time. i don’t believe they will let you do that today, but it worked than. And other things worked then, such as the application of daddy’s belt to the hind end of a child that was throwing a temper tantrum [throwing a fit].
It’s the parents
The public school can’t do anything to solve bad parenting.
Dismantle DOE immediately
that’s what happens when you pay useless people to breed ...
I have heard of this kind of behavior from kids from other adults.
The excuse given is that problem kids are to be mainstreamed in the least restrictive environment possible. So the kid goes and tears up the classroom and while the teacher’s aide stands and watches the kid lose it, the teacher takes the rest of the class to another room.
And they cannot discipline or physically restrain the kid.
IMO, these kids are basically BEGGING some adult to take charge and be in control. I think they know it’s wrong and want to see how far they can push it before someone cares enough to stop them. And yet, teachers are not allowed to. Then the only punishment the kid gets is to (supposedly) clean up the mess they made.
This is why when I hear stories of kids being put in time out rooms that are devoid of furniture and let them finish their temper tantrum I suspect that while there’s a public outcry against that kind of treatment of kids, I take it with a grain of salt. What are the schools supposed to do?
And why is the kid let into the public school with the rest of the kids in the first place?
One big problem, though, it homes like the kind you see on COPS, where the parents drink, do drugs, and are violent themselves. Sending them home for the day only puts them back in the environment where they learned to cuss like sailors in the first place.
FWIW< I did see one kid about 5 once, acting out and calling adults names and swearing at them worse than a drunken sailor. It was tragic because you know the kid has NO future but jail once he reaches 18, if he survives that long.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
And of course, I got criticized for homeschooling my kids because *socialization*.
Yeah, well that was the point. The kids they would have gone to school with were the monsters I saw running feral down the street from us. I knew what kind of socialization they'd be exposed to.
NO WAY!!!
Bring back reform schools.
Some kids are simply ineducable.
