I am a teacher that has to deal with children that really do not care. Could be a tough front might not be. It intrigues me how people that do not deal on the day to day basis with the situation have a cure all. Let's talk to the kids find out why they feel this way. Why do you feel that you have to misbehave? Could it really just be the kid is numb to life? Could it be that the concept of right and wrong is warped from the pollyanna days that we are living in? You tell me the solution is found in the home. Out of school does not help kids hang out when they are home. In school does not help students have non certified staff there basically keeping them quiet. Calling parents that have no control over there children does not help especially if neglect is evident and not substantiated by state standards. Stop making excuses for these kids and come up with the solution because if there is no consequence now they will have a consequence later and the judge will not care why do you feel this way. SPEND the money to create alternative counseling for those troubled students. Lower classroom size some students actually feel ignored and neglected in a room of 25 and what better way to get your attention is to act like an idiot. I don't understand is normally why many act up.
Stop relying on teachers to have a psych degree and let them figure out why do you feel the way you do? They do not get paid enough or do not have the time. Middle school and high school teachers see over 100 students in a day to day basis tell me do they have time to call up all of these students daily and find out why they feel they must behave. Time to inconvenience the parents. Let them come in and sit with their child. If they refuse then the child needs to not be with that parent. You don't have time to sit with your child then you don't need to keep the child.
I have the solution
