Why don't parents demand that schools do something about disruptive students?

But schools used to send kids to ISS. There is no reason they can't still do it.

I was the screwed up kid and got sent to ISS a few times in middle school. It may have made the classroom calmer or whatever, but it didn't help me at all. Not socially, not academically, not emotionally. Nothing. I was given my assignments for the days I was there, and a different teacher babysat me each period.

The other kids might have been able to learn. It shouldn't be the Teacher's job to fix a child's social or emotional issues.

The disabilities laws and lawsuits have absolutely broken the system.

They were entitled to that when we were growing up too (Gen X/Y), but the schools weren’t overrun with feral room-clearing, wildly disruptive behavior cases NEARLY to the degree they are now. Absolutely no comparison. So clearly something’s changed, and not for the better.

It is better for kids with special needs who otherwise would have been warehoused and forgotten about.

But worse for a whole class of kids in the meantime. Some kids do NOT belong mainstreamed.
