Hall monitors did this for generations.
- kube-system 3y agoThat would be the labor I'm referring to. The majority of US schools report struggling to hire paraprofessionals. https://www.edweek.org/leadership/how-bad-are-school-staffing-shortages-what-we-learned-by-asking-administrators/2021/10 https://www.edweek.org/leadership/how-bad-are-school-staffin...

- kube-system 3y agoIf the students goofing off in the hall are willing to listen to the nerds who are hall monitors, then that school doesn't really have too much of an issue with delinquent students in the halls. Do you really think other students are best equipped to deal with students having sex, doing drugs, or devious licks in the bathrooms? And in any case, the hall monitors are probably better off in class instead of being unpaid labor.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoThose mostly seem like imagined problems. They're trivially addressed - as evidenced by having hall monitors confidently deployed from one generation of school administration to the next.
- kube-system 3y agoGiven the way schools districts are drawn in the US, it highly depends on the locale. Pick any random school in Loudoun County VA and the halls will probably look quite a bit different than some random school in Mobile County AL.
