Another example of liberal results oriented policy. Liberals think the problem is that there is a disparity rather than looking at the problem. The problem here is the number of disciplinary problems in schools, regardless of race. That more Black children are disciplinary problems may relate to higher percentage of fatherless homes, or other problems.
Teachers tell me that they are not allowed to discipline students. The definitely cannot touch a student. I ask, what do you do when a student acts out in class. The answer, ask the student to stop, if they don't tell them to go to the Principal's office. What if they don't go to the Principal's office. Well, we call the principal or just let it go. Most of the time they just let it go, since it happens so frequently.
When I was a student, teachers could administer discipline quickly and resolutely. The few times that I was sent to the Principal's office, I caught more hell at home from my parents than I every wanted again.

Most of the time they just let it go, since it happens so frequently.

Yep! And the whole time that this particular student is acting up in class the rest of the students aren't learning anything.

I believe it was called "mainstreaming" where kids with behavior problems were placed in regular classrooms so their fragile "self-esteem" wouldn't be damaged. The result is that one or two of these kids can hijack the entire class and waste untold hours throughout the year while the motivated kids sit in silence watching the clock tick away learning nothing.

Reason number 4,597 why I would never be a public school teacher.
