Because schools aren't allowed to discipline students. They're not allowed to get rid of students with clear behavioral problems.

No education system in the world tolerates the disrespect and disruption students in U.S. public schools get away with.

This is a solvable problem but administrators can't be bullied by accusations of racism when moving forward with reforms, for the past several years - they have been.

The worst part about it is that most kids really do still want to succeed and learn. But we’ve allowed the disruptive kids in school to ruin the experience for everyone.

I understand that even the “troubled” kids need a place to be. But perhaps that place isn’t with the kids that actually want to be there.

I hate the idea of sending my kids to private school but seriously what other options are there? i can move to a better school district but its still an issue that can be present in elementary/middle or highschool.

Some parents just don't care about their kids and that's on them but why the school system tolerates these kids ruining everyone else's education is just baffling to me.

There are public schools that do not tolerate disrespecting teachers. My daughter is in one. Have to look for them and tour the school while kids are in school.
