Public school administrators haven’t done much of anything to hold violent kids (or their parents) accountable.

That isn't usually the problem. The problem is often the school admin. I have worked with families who are literally begging the school for more support (for example a 1:1 aide or counseling services) for safety reasons, but the school admin still denies it.

I don’t know. Seems like we hear many stories where kids have to be evacuated from a classroom because a violent kid if aggressively tearing it apart and the schools can’t do anything except evacuate the class because the parents of the offender refuse to allow the school to change placements. I do agree that sometimes the schools are at fault but usually seems a bit of a stretch. [/quote]

You hear many stories? Okay. What you are hearing is just speculation. These matters are confidential. [/quote]

Confidential? If you think middle schoolers and high schoolers don't share with their parents and then parents share with friends, you are most naive. [/quote]

Every school, and I mean EVERY school, is evacuating classrooms at least some of the time.  EVERY SINGLE ONE.[/quote]
