No, our entire grade level was packed with behaviors this year. Every class had a few major behaviors. And the rest were all medium-sized behaviors. Only a few you never really had to get on at all. The grade is so bad they're adding an extra section next year to split them up a little bit more.

I went to catholic school in my grade school years. In the 1970s discipline was either getting hit with an open fist, shoe, belt or thrown up against the wall. It taught me that if I misbehave again, I knew what was coming to me. This was the norm in my school years and we didn't see mommy or daddy running to see a lawyer. In my recollection there were not many behavioral issues because we all knew the punishment we would receive and we got what we deserved. This was done in front of the whole class.

They should have done that with my 6th graders. Do parents pressure the teachers at all to keep their kids with a friend or in a particular teacher's class like they did back when I was teaching? They try over here to keep friend groups together to a certain extent, but when E was going into 6th grade, I asked them to separate her from another girl. The girl didn't have any friends, but was too possessive of E. She'd constantly bug E to help her with work even when they weren't supposed to be talking, she'd get mad if E told her she needed to finish her own work first, and she'd get abusive if E wanted to play with someone else at recess or didn't want to play the game that girl decided they were going to play. I actually asked them to please separate them if they could, and they did. Her mom was very angry that the school split them up, but I was so relieved. Do you get a vote in who you get each year? Do you make recommendations for teachers for the kids who leave your class and move on to the next year? Or is it completely random?

Yikes. I went to both public and Catholic school in the 70’s. Corporal punishment (Board approved or not) was long gone by then … not that I would have been subject to it anyway.

According to Google, it wasn’t officially abolished by the Supreme Court of Canada until 2004, but it was off the books in most Ontario school boards in 1971. I didn’t start school until 72.

My parents both got the strap a few times, and at least two of my brothers would have been strapped weekly, had it still been on the books. 😂

Corporal punishment to minors in private schools legal except in Iowa and New Jersey. It is legal in 17 states in public schools mainly in the South from TX, VA to FL.

We make the class lists for the next year, but they get shifted around quite a bit based on move ins, move outs, etc.

Parents can request for their child to be with or away from others, but no guarantees. Same for teachers.

We don't get a say in who we get. The classes are assigned to us based on personality fits between some students and teachers. Otherwise it's just random.

On some special occasions I'll know some of the students I have in my class. Like this year I knew of two I was getting. Last year I knew one. It was based on parent request and approval of admin.

Well I hope it works out well for you and you get a better class this year. My class was the class no one wanted. We had a terrible reputation. We had a few kids that had serious issues, and of course back when I was in elementary school, they didn't have a whole lot of knowledge about how to deal with certain behaviors and I think a lot of times they made it worse with how they handled it. But we had a reputation all the way into high school. My brother was a year ahead of me and his class had a whole bunch of high achievers, and then my class was just a bunch of delinquents.

I went to Catholic Schools for the first 9 years starting in 1955. I often wonder if they thought that pulling a 1st grader across the school lobby by their ears would make them better Catholics or not. The answer is NOT. Other than that one extreme the worst other one was when I was slouched in my seat and the nun came up behind me and slapped me very hard in the back of my head. (that does explain a lot) There were a few rulers across the knuckles and the daily torture of the apparent vow taken by nuns to never use deodorant. Man there were some days when it would practically take your breath away. Once the family moved and I got to go to a public school (High School) then the only threat was to be expelled and I actually started to enjoy school a little. I went on to college, but amongst other reasons that I did, there was a little police action going on at the time in a place called Vietnam and staying in school meant a deferment. Didn't do me much good because it was still going on when I graduated and I got to go anyway. In life, location and timing is everything.

I dont think I've mentioned this here yet, but I'm heading to WDW in a few days! My dad and I will leave on Friday around 1, then drive to Paducah, KY. We'll stay the night there, then drive the rest of the way on Saturday. We will stay at All Stars Movies Saturday night before moving to the Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs for a few nights.

My mom, brother, and his fiancee will fly down a few days after we arrive, and we'll switch to Riverside. Then my aunt, uncle, cousins and cousin's husband will join us for the last few days. By the end it will be the same group that went down last year.
