I have already read those posts.

My son behaves in class because he knows better than to act up.

There is still no reason to lock a child into a pitch black boiler room. If the parents did this, the state would charge them. Teachers and administrators should know better.

Of course, I’m assuming that this article is correct, which is probably foolish on my part.

When you put a cup of pure water in with a barrel of sewage, you have a barrel of sewage.

One disruptive jerk in a classroom full of actual students can turn the whole affair into chaos. The school system (whether public or private) owes you and your son an academic environment in which he can actually learn. That necessarily means removing disruptors.

When the system refuses to provide officially sanctioned means of removing and disciplining disruptors, it is absolutely inevitable and predictable that unofficial means will be employed. And you won’t like them.

If you really want to clean up this mess, start with enabling real, meaningful, appropriate classroom discipline.
