It’s important to pay attention to how discipline will be used in a child’s school.

On the first day, a parent might be shocked upon entering their child’s kindergarten classroom to be handed a student conduct code or rule book by a smiling teacher.

This book will have all the dos and don’ts involving behavior. It makes for vivid reading. It will include rules about suspensions, expulsions, and appeal procedures.

School districts usually use this same handbook for K-12. So, parents get this booklet every year with minor changes.

Or, if you live in Pasco County, Florida, the land of third grade retention, Betsy DeVos’s blessing, graded schools, and fly-by-night charters, you might be puzzled and angry to learn rules in one elementary school include stopping anarchy in kindergarten. Here is the updated article.

The rules go like this:

A is for Anarchy

That’s the lowest level, where there’s fear of a lack of order that’s aimless and chaotic. In other words, kindergartners take over the classroom and hell breaks loose. Kind of like the Booking.com ad. I mentioned in another post, only the teachers have already had their summer vacations.
