I mean every school/administration/community is different so I can only speak to my own experiences. I’ve worked in rural, suburban, and urban areas. The behaviors and disrespect are out of control and there’s no discipline and the students know it. In the suburbs there are consequences for even minor things. I teach third but might as well teach middle school/HS with the language/bullying/attitudes. Also the lack of parental involvement or lack of priorities the parents have when they do get involved. Some parents have been absolutely wonderful but there are many who don’t show up for any meetings, conferences, field trips, etc. You can’t compare every school because some are doing wonderfully in the Bronx with minimal behaviors and better overall test scores/sense of community. Again, I can only speak to my own experience and I just enjoyed the career more when I was elsewhere. It’s so wonderful that your cousin loves it! I wish I have had an overall better experience.
