since everyone from teachers to parents won't, don't, or simply can't discipline children anymore until they become little Adam Lanzas.
For teachers, it's usually "can't". These days their hands are tied, and the parents get the final say. My wife tells me how they're not allowed to discipline the kids anymore, and in at least one particular case she's been instructed to "bribe" them instead (and refused). It's insane.
Simple solution...
* Private schools for those who want specific educational learning being offered at your own expense regardless of what type of education it is.
* Specialty schools for those disabled or impaired students to be covered by private health care insurance costs and premiums to the obligated care-provider specific to the care being rendered and services needed with certain public allocations permissible to off-set costs depending on the nature of the disability or impairment.
My dissection of Public schools (at taxpayer expense):
Mandatory K-12 attendance year round (NO exception)
* Charter schools for the over-achievers or those that excel (and care) about learning at no expense to American citizens with conditions to maintain your enrolled status.
* Military academy for the shining elite who seek 'career' military service at no expense to American citizens (NO admission to others) with conditions to maintain your enrolled status.
* Trade schools for those not really academically inclined but wish a technical or trade career with conditions to maintain your enrolled status.
For those who cannot meet and/or maintain any of the above:
* * Mandatory military boot camp and service for the underachievers or 'bad apples' (or expulsion, prison, and/or deportation) with conditions stipulated in order to earn and/or maintain U.S. citizenship and/or residency status
Unemployment line for those on the public payroll in the public educational system or otherwise that cannot maintain a performance standard established by their expected occupational guidelines.
As for the rules that bind hands: No need to worry because if you fail to live up to expectations, you will have NO say in where you go as it will be decided for you.
Just some thoughts.
