“What is NEEDED is an educational regimen taught in ENGLISH in a DISCIPLINED ENVIRONMENT, where disrupters are expelled and failures are FAILED until they get it.”

Most schools in the US do teach their classes in English. Try expelling every undisciplined kid who acts up in a classroom, and see how quick the school board comes down on you. But think about what you are saying. Whose fault is it that teachers spend an hour dealing with discipline problems for every hour they teach. Who should be teaching children how to behave, and respect teachers? Show me a kid who has parents that take responsibility for his education, and I’ll show you a kid who learns. My kids were all home schooled, and they’ve done well. A lot of people can’t home school or afford private schools. They are forced to depend on the public schools, but not forced to quit their responsibility for their kid’s education, though most of them do. Parents who take responsibility for their kids educations don’t need to blame teachers for their kid’s failures.

"Most schools in the US do teach their classes in English."

All schools, 100% of them 100% of the time should teach in ENGLISH only -- except of course in "Foreign Language Studies"..

"Who should be teaching children how to behave, and respect teachers?

NOT the schools or the teachers... Send the little bastards home, and see how long it takes for mommy to kick their asses into gear to get them out of her hair and back into school.

"A lot of people can’t home school or afford private schools."

Then those parents should have NO complaint meeting the minimal requirements to keep their kids in PUBLIC schools..
Discipline, Attention, Do the class work, do the homework - or stay the hell home with mommy.

It REALLY is as simple as that..
That was the way they ran the schools I went to.
