Take a walk around every public school in the nation and you'll find little genetic copies of the people that produced them.
Having corralled them in large buildings together, these little genetic copies begin to mimic their parent(s) and non-school environment. Throwing all the money in the world at them will not change the "learned" bad behavior. The fact that so many of the nations middle and high schools feel they need an armed police officer on their grounds is a sobering reality.
The fact is that in school after school, a minority of students who routinely challenge legitimate school rules and authority are preventing the majority of students from learning and teachers from teaching. Teachers too often must operate in a culture of challenge and second guessing that is affecting their ability to teach and maintain order.
If a child demonstrates behavior that is noticeably different from that expected in school or the community, that child should be taken out of the school at that instance and the parent(s)immediately notified of a consultation with the teacher and principle before the child is allowed to return. Too many more problems after that is child neglect and the parents should be charged with it.
Quit subsidizing the baby making factory, lazy, won't work, deadbeats and you'll see the problem start to get better in schools.
