The mandatory school system goes from grades 1-9. After that, there is still high school until 12th grade + university.

Every home is set up different.  It is up to the organization in charge and the house parents to run each home.  \nSometimes the kids go to a public school, sometimes a private school, and sometimes home schooling is needed.\nMost of the time the schedule includes any meetings that the kids have to attend, psychologists, AA, any court appointed things, etc.  then there is extra curricular stuff-if it is a religious organization running the house then they will attend church and church youth groups and activities.  Most of the time a chore schedule is in place for all of the kids in the home.  They can be expected to maintain a neat room, bed made each day, clothes and belongings picked up and put away, and complete their daily chores, help out with dinner setting the table, helping cook, cleaning up and doing dishes after................\nThis is just regular family duties, only when it comes to kids with behavioral problems it is more important for a group home to emphasize and have in place specific routines for each day.\nMost kids come in with only a small bag of personal items, the group home will supply them with personal items like soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and things like that.  At birthdays and Christmas the kids will get presents from the house parents, just like a real home.\nThere is not going to be much freedom like most kids understand freedom.  You can't just take off and go to the movies, hang out at the mall alone, or go over to a friends house.  Everything you do has to monitored and you will almost always have an adult chaperon with you on any outings...you'll go as a group if you spend an evening at the mall or movies or whatever.\nI hope that helps.

Not particularly well.\n\nWhen I was in school, we were taught phonics, sentence structure, etc.  The current way of teaching is called whole language learning.  They throw out the basics and try to teach kids by making them read then using what they read to teach them about the language.\n\nIt's not working.  You can't build a structure without a firm foundation and the schools are trying to hang diplomas on walls that are barely upright because they have no base.

School policy and issues should be addressed and answers found at the local level.  There should be no national policy or federal guide lines on this or any other school issue.  If a local school decides that some form of physical discipline i9s applicable, it should be decided at the local level between the administration, the teachers and the parents.\n\nIn my opinion it isn’t likely to work, at least it won’t result in the type of environment conducive to excellence in education.  First there must be a foundation of behavior established.  This shouldn’t be a major challenge, we’ve done it before.\n\nAt one time it was understood by all that a school was for teaching.  That teachers were there to teach.  That the district, through the board of education and administration, were to provide a “teaching” environment.  Further, that there was an implied contract of the students and their parents that the student was there to participate in that education process.  Exceptions weren’t made for the student who would fit in, rather they were removed so that the teacher and the students could actually function in the education environment.\n\nThis doesn’t mean that the students removed didn’t have to go to school, rather they were placed in more restrictive institutions.  This could continue until they were in what we referred to as reform schools.  Their parents were expected to participate in supporting their children’s education or, their children were removed from them. \n\nPart of that education was the teaching of civility.  How do you act as a part of a member of society?  What does it mean to be a responsible member of society?  The children also must be taught the basics of education to function in society.  This means not only to be able to read, but to read with comprehension.  To be able to write clearly in script.  To understand the rules of spelling and sentence syntax.  To have a least a basic foundation of literature and history.  Certainly there must be understanding of mathematics and its use in society.\n\nShort of that, the local community has failed its responsibility.

We have them in my school. The kids are amazingly responsible...but it's an overseas international school (with kids from over 40 different countries). The rules are totally different over here.

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

You should get the school house rock videos. That is how I learned. "I'm just a bill...and I'm sitting here on Capital Hill" I was a junior in high school when I was that thing but for some reason it stuck...Never underestimate childrens programs.

Yes, in Canada it is called simply Health, and the arts and crafts would be in Art class.  There isn't usually any cooking though in primary school.  (How old do you mean by "primary"?  Here it would mean only to about 8 years of age.  School systems in Canada are different in each province.  There isn't much pure home economics in most secondary schools in Canada anymore, though some schools can still offer the program, but there are courses in high school such as Healthy Living, Enterprise, etc., and similar courses at most grade levels.\n\nI hope this helps.

please furnish me the source of your information that 56% child monsters work. i think that is exaggerated figure. it is better if they go to toilets at home and under unavoidable circumstances some body in school is to take them and i do not think it is wrong

well,the standard grades level that i am aware of  are A, B, C ,D,F\nand i am sure that it is being regulated by the department of education.\nIf there are no D's in your school it might probably be your school internal  rules.\nYou can actually  call the department of education and you will get an answer.\nYou can also go to your school catalog under grading policy.\nHope this helps

It depends on how involved the system is and the parents as well than just the teacher or just the parent
