There are an endless number of things wrong with schools.
But a strong contributing factor to some of this stuff is the fact that many parents simply do not raise their children. No discipline. No rules. No expectations. Hey, the teachers will do all that work, right?
Well, if the teachers do any of that stuff, they are likely to be fired. And also attacked by the parents.
It’s a hopeless situation.
Indeed it is a war zone. My deceased wife was routinely threatened. The worst was a giant of a kid backed her into a corner as he acted as if the knife he was holding was to be used to slash her.
I believe it was 3 days of suspension for the “child”.
Our teachers are forced to deal with way too much in the classroom. No support. Nothing. But she so loved her profession. It was for her a calling she could not say no to.
Pray for many of our teachers who stand on the front lines and try to fend off the borderline chaos of a fast declining civilization.

You are 100% correct. Some parents do not raise their children to have respect for others and property..
Children behaving like animals leaves little time for actual instruction. Our schools are churning out uneducated children for many reasons, but one leading factor is that the parents are MIA.
There are a few black guys who show up at a long running political breakfast I go to. A couple of them have been following school issues and have been involved with the schools in various volunteer capacities for years.
They are in agreement that in many cases, we need a better class of parent before we will get better outcomes from our schools.
It’s quite a conundrum.
Single parenthood is at the root of a large percentage of school discipline problems. This is not talked about much.
