Do folks realize how far this strays from anything actually having to do with education? My son attended a Catholic school. The disciplinary powers of the teachers was broad and reaching, extending to demerits, Saturday work in the grounds and fields, extra homework, and preemptory visits to the headmaster. Searches beyond cleaning up messy lockers were never conducted, yet these powers were sufficient to keep kids enough in line that the teachers could focus on their primary job of English and Math and Latin, which the students were forced to take 4 years of.
The problem is not that the schools lack sufficient disciplinary powers, but they fail to engage the students by teaching thereby relieving themselves of the necessity of the students to act out their shear and utter boredom.

I totally agree. Its not money or lack of teachers. Its the pure socialist agenda that is focused on indoctrination instead of education.
