Maybe they should have hauled the parents in also; cuffed of course. There’s far too much dysfunction & parents lacking proper parenting skills in America; hold them accountable for the abuse situation.

DEFINITELY! We need the GOVERNMENT to step in and teach people how to behave! The State is so wonderful in parenting skills...especially as we build it more into a Nanny.

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.
