Trouble is, the parents, the very ones who hold the power in the palms of their hands to stop all of this nonsense before it even begins, are instead very much the root of the sickness...and it doesn't take but a handful of them to completely degrade the system from its intended course. And of course that begs the question, is there even a way to fix that, under any social construct? After all, without sufficient provocation, we can't raise their children for them...

I'm pro-life, so I would never suggest forced abortions, but clearly there are some people who are unfit to be parents. Cutting off the welfare money after a certain number of kids (preferably one) would be a way to contain the problem, but that still doesn't solve the bigger problem.

Believe me, if Mr. and Mrs. (or Ms.) Troublemaker had been called into school and told their 7 or 8yo child was permanently expelled from all classes for failure to follow the rules they'd care. It should not be the school's problem to maintain a willfully unruly child in the class to the detriment of the rest of the class.
