Reply to comment by Thick_Piece in Vermont Public School Teachers- What Are Your Concerns? by Primary-Cap-3147

The whole "no recourse for bad behavior" is what scares me about the most about coming back to the US to teach (currently teaching at an Int'll school in Malaysia).

I'm totally on board with guiding kids through their problems, but there are limits to that. Some kids need to be read the riot and act and forced to do something unpleasant in order to correct their behavior.

Sometimes you have to inconvenience the parents for it be taken seriously. Make the parent come pick them up.

I send out emails as well, but I don't have the power to get them picked up.

With parents who care, it works.
