Bring back reform schools.
Some kids are simply ineducable.

My general population classes were awful and the worst were the minority students.
They have been granted privileged status all their lives and behaved as such.
One or two students would prevent learning for the entire class.
As a consequence, I would have to teach 9th Grade level curriculum to my Chemistry and Physics students.
We see it reflected in our need for H1-B immigrants.
We homeschool our 15 year grandson. We have done this for the past 3 years.
When we took over he did not know the alphabet, could not write or spell his name, and could not add 2+5.
Today, he is half way through Saxon Algebra 1, and he is reading a U.S. history textbook for Advanced Placement students.
It’s not often that one has the opportunity to save a life.
After reading the article fetal alcohol syndrome, narcotic addiction, and awful home diets was my first thought.
Our nation’s children are being poisoned by moms who are themselves poisoned.
Teachers should not have to deal with this. Plus it deters talented people from entering the profession.
Take out the trouble makers and set up a military style boot camp for them.
Don’t I wish it would be allowed :)
I don’t even know if there’s not a law at the federal level banning corporal punishment.
which is a shame, because it works as part of the arsenal an adult can choose from to discipline kids.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)
There are some old tools that might help the situation- suspension, expulsion, Juvie,- and an older one- hanging by the thumbs.
For he education establishment and for the Left in general, potty raining as well as everything else regarding children is proper to the school environment as parents must not be allowed to actually raise or influence children lest they not grow up as state robots.
Those kids should have stayed home and been home schooled. Homeschooling focuses the parents on the kids and their behaviour as well as giving them a better education than is available from the State.
Too late. Violent, disruptive kids should be removed from school immediately and with no appeal.
“My idea is that public schools should be downsized to serve special needs kids and let the normal kids go to charter, religious or private schools. It would save a lot of money.”
Interesting concept—most parents of special needs kids want them in “mainstream” settings even if it destroys the educational experience for everyone else.
Those parents need to be over-ruled.
AMEN!
Diet may be a factor but a bouncing off the wall hyperative child is not even the beginning of what we are talking about here.
these are children with no judgment, often low intelligence, violent, sexualized, with no remorse and sometimes no understanding of simple direction. Sometime in the throes of psychosis.
When you hear of the second grader led out in handcuffs... you can be sure he or she is much older than grade level and that the child has hurt someone seriously in the past. The newscaster doesn’t say that the child is a 115 lb 10 year old who bites kicks screams and needs six people to hold him down.
Oh, do believe it. Believe it in earnest.
When I was in elementary school here in Texas, I was asked while in 4th grade to show-and-tell my tadpole that had grown its legs and becoming the cool frog 🐸 God designed it to be. To the kindergarten class.
The stench of urine in that classroom was horrific and I very nearly vomited.
And that was in the early 1970s.
And not to leave out, that the same behaviors being exhibited by these kids in this instance and ongoing, right this moment, were going on then at the elementary school I attended in Texas, and in the previous two I attended in California.
A certain ethnic demographic was predominantly involved in it, being the kids, with an equal mix of Black and White Admin, Principals, Teachers, other
staff, blah and spew.. Blah because they behaved every bit the reprehensible animals and abusive monsters that CA and TX saw to stuff the classrooms with.
Whether or not desegregation had to do with it or not, in this case it didn’t help. Black kids were bused from the worst parts of cities or town to predominantly White neighborhoods / classrooms, and there were already intensely emotionally disturbed or demonically possessed White kids / staff there, and it was as nuke going off.
This went on through middle and halfway through high school, when my parents told me that I would not be returning to school after Thanksgiving break. My grades had become so abysmal, my self esteem almost undetectable, my only solace was via reading and writing my own sci-fi novels. I loved to spend long hours reading the dictionary, a well-thumbed thesaurus, and other helps to understand and comprehend and enlarge my understanding and vocabulary.
I thought God hated me and I hated myself. I still have to slap those feelings down on occasion, knowing God loves me and He doesn’t want me to hate myself, just despise the evil one, Satan, and resist him daily.
Read The Bible and let its Living Word Heal me within and without, and I can believe every Word it says. Because It Is JESUS. It Is GOD. THE I AM THAT I AM.
I’m so glad those days of torment are over for me, I should hit my knees for those who have to go through what I am at this day in time!
My wife worked in a ‘facility’ ie school for these little monsters.
The article notes issues with drug addicted parent, and mises Fetal Alcohol Syndrome kiddos whose mom was a drunk while pregnant.
Add in the parent that let their kiddo run amok - over half the kids in my DW building were **convicted felons** with parole officers and the rest. There are the girls actively hooking - to support their druggie parents and all that goes with.
Unless you have had to deal with these, you have no idea.
Now, make it all better by the FedGov and local lawyers who specialize in suing the District for failure to meet wildly unrealistic ‘goals’ and micromanaging the schools.
If your child not had to compete with one of these out-of-control lunatics - as that child was *mainstreamed* into a normal school, count yourself very lucky.
Deleting the Dept of “Education’ would be a good start.....
DUMP THE “BOARD OF EDUCATION” IDEA.
