Gaming addictions & others

[Veronica]

I think we may be going to h@ll in a hand basket.

My comments are always based on what I see day in and day out in my classroom and school.

My class has little respect for others' property. Library books have their bar codes picked at and pulled off. Stickers on the desks to make grouping easier get picked off. Brand new books get nasty things written in them.

Things get left all over the place - very little actually gets put back where it goes.

Kids will saw at the desks with their scissors. These are 5th graders - 10 - 11 year olds.

They don't know how to be a community. This respect for the property of others isn't something I am accustomed to having to teach.

Then there is the disrepect to OTHER people...
