re: there are NO consequences in school anymore at all, it is a joke

Were there ever consequences?
Yeah, if you played sports, you ran some stadiums. Maybe you got after school detention and got a head start on your homework.
But permanent records aren't a real thing and never were.
There were only the illusion of consequences.
Nah this is wrong. Out of school suspensions were common. Alternative school was common. Flat out expulsion was common.
Expulsion doesn't exist anymore so all the shite turds take up the alternative school and the repeat minor offenders fill up in school suspensions.
So minor rules get broken and have zero consequences. It is a snowball that gets bigger and bigger.

In K-12? No sir.
As a dad of four whose wife works in the schools, the FA to FO ratio has grown by a factor of like 100 since I was in school.
There is literally no such thing as “late work”. Punishments are mostly in-school suspension and you can make up pretty much anything. Grade replacement and grade inflation is expected….”magical Ds” for kids who literally sleep all year.
It’s broken because there are no consequences for terrible decisions and the schools are disincentivized from failing anyone unless they absolutely have to.

not ready for a test? who cares, just have a parent email admin and bitch and complain and admin will make the teacher let the snowflake take the test a day or two later
Heaven forbid schools value students learning something above anything else.

absent for 10/15/20 days? who cares
Not the case at Dutchtown HS. Three days missed, and I received an email from the attendance office wanting me to contact them with an explanation.

What’s ridiculous is that my son has mostly A’s but when he took his year-end state test, he bombed the math and reading comprehension sections
WTF are the teachers just giving him passing grades so they can look good throughout the year?

None of those are true for our high school. Sounds like the school board and superintendent needs to answer some questions.

What these kids should be learning is that effort matters, you need to show up for your obligations and deadlines are a thing in the real world.
That’s a hell of a lot more important than the 500 word literary analysis of Hamlet that they were given 10 months to do.

They apparently aren’t learning.
No Child Left Behind has fricked the school system.

I don't remember commenting on automatically passing students to the next grade.

it is up to the parents to provide consequences.

What shitty school yall got?

This is a hugely flawed line of thinking. In life cops/bosses provide consequences. Schools should be preparing kids for life.
The issue is modern parents want to protect their kids from anything that resembles discomfort or discipline. So they are creating the monsters we see on Twitter when these people get out in the real world.

Yea they are learning zero accountability and consequences for their actions.

We have gone from the school system caring about the student and always holding them accountable to the school system caring about the school system's statistics, at the cost of the student.

The problem with this is that I have to punish my kid for late work in spite of the fact that she got an A.
The schools are reinforcing a shitty work ethic for stupid reasons and parents have to work against that. The schools should be partnering with parents, not throwing up obstacles for us.

That's what happens when funding metrics are based on those same statistics. The gov't incentives schools to pass students who aren't ready to move to the next grade.
