Holding parents accountable for the social skills (or lack of) they impart on their kids is a far cry from the govt teaching people how to behave.

Public schools were designed to teach academics not to raise kids into becomming upstanding citizens. When parents for whatever reason decline to complete their parental responsibilities; they should be held accountable. Otherwise, you end up with what we have today; playing right into the Dems hands and defaulting into their social engineering dreams out of necessity.

I really don't think teachers should be required to deal with or teach social skills. It all starts in the family.

You’re right. It’s not the teacher’s job.

The people who want to reason with out-of-control kids and don’t believe a teacher should touch a child would be the first to complain/sue if their child were endangered by a little kid like this. Who would even want their child seated next to this kid?

Agreed...and their actions didn’t do so.

At least the kid has learned that you can’t trust the school administration and they don’t really have your best interests in mind. Sounds like it helped to bond the family more, once the kid got out of the State’s hands.
