@@ironman2326 While I agree that these kids should be held accountable for their actions, some of these disruptive kids are in elementary school and middle school (ages 6-15); I've seen a few reports of some being in kindergarten. From a .gov site: "Federal child labor law generally prohibits the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations under the age of 14, restricts the hours and types of work that can be performed by minors under 16, and prohibits the employment of minors under the age of 18 in any hazardous occupation." These days, working in a classroom can be considered hazardous. The kids need serious interventions outside the classroom, not janitorial duties.

These children who do this should not be allowed to stay in the classroom to do this, not only because it is unfair to the rest of the students and teacher, but because the child should NOT be allowed to destroy public property like that. The child is only being enabled and the right to destroy property that does not belong to them is being reinforced. They belong in a room with next to nothing in it.

[@goldenrule3261]

Totally agree. Not sure why they're allowing kids to get away with violence and destruction of property. When I was in grade school back in the 80's, we had only one guy teacher who teaches 6th grade and every student was afraid of him. Any student in that school who misbehaved were sent to that guy teacher to be disciplined which I'm sure prevented many potential problems. This leads me to think that women are prone to be less strict with kids, perhaps even enabling them. My 7th grade teacher allowed her students to trash her class, steal her stuff at her desk and all she did was yelled at the kids. The word she yelled out in class the most was, "insubordination!."

[@yogalover2753]

Well Yeah I agree with that if they're actually destroying property or doing things that can injure someone. To be honest I'd understand this approach if the students were only throwing stuff like books and pencils on the floor and on the desks and stuff. However once that student starts throwing chairs across the room or starts tearing things up is when you need to intervene because those actions can definitely hurt someone and it isn't fair to the other kids if they have to leave the classroom just because another student is throwing chairs.

Along with my whole class teaching , I was also responsible for running the 2 biggest fund raisers for the school, the Scholastic Book Fairs for fall and spring, plus was responsible for the sacraments of penance and first communion( (which included weekend non-paid working). I easily worked over 60 hours every week, including most of every Sunday prepping for the new week with lesson plans, grading homework, etc. While teaching there, I developed high blood pressure and started having anxiety attacks. I lasted 2 years and had to leave from declining health due to stress. The principal was ruthless and critical on all my alternative teaching styles. I had children in my class that clearly needed pull out services, but didn't get them. Teachers are so underpaid and overworked. It is such a stressful job.

@Trad Dog Well, I didn't anticipate the statement to be taken literally, like saying people will sue at the drop of a hat but I've never seen a lawsuit over a dropped hat either. It is a very litigious culture and there has been a huge shift in the power dynamics and the nature of discipline in schools. Schools do get sued as do teachers. Not all schools are public with government workers. More likely a teacher can lose their job over parents' complaints about perceived slights experienced by their children that dont involve physical contact. It's happened a friend of mine. I also talk with teachers regularly at my work and hear story upon story about how much their hands are tied in dealing with children in their classes and there is a looming threat of legal and/or disciplinary action from the parents or school respectively with actions taken to maintain order. These videos are great examples. A child loses it in the classroom and everyone else has to leave rather than address the child with the problem? That hasn't become the procedure because everyone thinks it's a great idea to let a kid destroy public property. The legal risk of intervention is too great. If the student says they freaked out because of how the teacher talked to them or acted towards them (how they looked at them), then the teacher can be seen as the cause of the event by the parents, and thus the school. Parents just don't have the teacher's backs like they used to and are more likely to blame the teacher and school than their own child and their parenting. Hopefully that makes my use of expressions in my previous comments more clear. Definitely wasn't saying that a teacher could get sued for looking at a student cross eyed or something like that.

How did students devolve to this behavior? Never a room clear when I was in school.

[@kurarisusa]

Mental illness is skyrocketing throughout the US, most likely due to a combination of cultural experiments we've subjected ourselves to. I worked in the school system a few years ago and what I saw was that lack of fathers, often leads to abandonment trauma and poor supervision at home. This in turn led to children being more at risk for running the streets, encountering predators, drugs, pornography, and other bad influences at a very early age (many while still in elementary school). This, of course led to more trauma, a sharp decline in social-emotional development and increasingly aggressive and inappropriate behaviors. To the point where we had 5th and 6th grade boys trying to molest 4th graders in the bathrooms. Not to mention the slew of emotionally disturbed mental disorders in an increasing percent of the student body. All in all, the hyper sexualization of the culture and a movement away from emphasizing the importance of a supportive, stable and engaged family structure has led to complete disaster.

You are a responsible parent. But many parents do not want to acknowledge it. Be it because they are embarrassed or because by acknowledging it they now need to do something about it. However many schools no longer mandate the parent to find a solution. Therefore the school puts up with it. However that helps no one. Mandating that a parent look into helping their aggressive child so that they can stay at school is taking care of everyone. The aggressive student and his peers. The other students can suffer trauma just being part of that environment. Every child has the right to learn in a safe environment. Any aggressive children are welcome back once they are safe. Unfortunately many schools believe keeping them out until they are better is taking away their right to an education. Every child has a right to learn in a safe environment.

Once graduated from the program, then they can reenter the regular classroom. LET’s be fair to the average child!

This is why people need to homeschool and stop pawning their children off on other people. People could afford to be a one parent household if they quit living above their means and learn self discipline in their spending and learn to manage money. It isn't right for parents who actually teach and discipline their children to have to be worried about the bad behavior of children whose parents are too lazy to be a parent and for the teachers to have to try to "redirrect" these heathens without touching them. These children are criminals.

[@savedbygracethroughfaith7642]

God says otherwise, but unfortunately people don't really care what God says. Lots of things have been around for centuries, it doesn't make them right. If God commands parents to bring up their children and raise their children, which He does, then all parents are qualified and capable. If you're smart enough to work a secular job you are smart enough to teach your kids. People are just too lazy and care more about material things than their kids. God knows better than anyone. Kids are less socialized in school than those raised at home. My kids spend more time with other good kids that I get to choose they hang out with than public school kids. Public school kids are forced to sit in a desk for approximately 6+ hours a day and do 2+ hours of homework plus have to get up way early to go to school. Where is family time and time to socialize? I went to public school my whole childhood, it was aweful. It is way worse now, but people make excuses to avoid doing more work. Yes, it takes a lot of work to homeschool, and budget and to live a lifestyle where you can't buy all of the material things, but my kids are a billion times more important than pawning them off on people who could care less about them. People are so naive. Every homeschool family I know has happy and well behaved kids that are safe from bullies and being shot by another angry kid. Our kids will never know the fear of a school shooting or psycho kids destroying the classroom. A parent who wants to subject their kids to that sounds like a parent who doesn't care about their kids. I used to be a working mom, I quit making excuses and my husband and I found a way to make things work. It is time for other families to do the same or quit complaining about the things going on in schools.

Only a quarter of high school graduates go to college, and half of that is under educated at high school level. If this were the case in Asia, hell would break loose. Kids would be pushed so hard that they make up all the lost studies in matter of a few month no matter what. I can tell you here. Asians do not understand how could so many American parents forgone their children watching them drown in disarray and take little to no action.

Schools are supposed to be a safe LEARNING environment. School districts typically have in place teachers. They should also have either an intercom system to quickly reach administrative staff/the principals office and either student teachers and or hall monitors who are easily accessible by walkie talkie or by phone with a rapid response, if a situation is out of control or a student becomes unruly. The school should also have at least one safe room, if not more than one with a guard who is in charge of the room. That room might be designed with padded walls and few objects with the exception of soft seating/ plastic chairs. The school might have a selection of reading books, if the child calms down and is at that point able to sit and read. The space would serve as an in school suspension room for students who misbehave, act out, lash out, the rooms for students being disrespectful might differ from the room where students who become violent are taken. The classroom should never become so disrupted that the majority of the students are unable to learn, unable to study. The teacher should always be in control of the classroom, of the situation they are overseeing. This may require, at times, with some students, the help of the school staff and the structure of the environment. In suspension, the parents of the child would always be notified and if it is deemed appropriate to the consensus of the school staff, the parents would be required to arrange for pick up of their child, with a set return date to the school and a plan for correcting the behavior displayed. The experience of letting kids overrun the classroom is a sign the entire school has to be involved with solutions to resolve the difficulty and the individual experience of specific situations. It could also be that the teachers need to feel that support, encouragement, and assurances they are not alone in their duty to perform their job, to teach.

Inclusion is a wonderful thing for those students and families but this is the consequence to the others and nobody's willing to have this difficult discussion.

I agree that inclusion of special ed students can contribute to this issue, but there are also students with IEP's for Behavior. We even call them "Behaviors". They may or may not have received medical intervention for this, but are allowed to disrupt.

A lot has to do with the fact teachers were allowed to discipline the students how they see fit. Now days if a teacher or any other staff member looks at a student wrong we may lose our jobs over that. I work in a cafeteria and I got after a student for throwing milk in the air. My manager threaten to punish me because I am not allowed to yell at a student. I said OK if that milk spills on the floor I will not clean it up and I won't say anything if a student gets hurt. I come from a long line of teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and janitors in my family.
