[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that teachers, students, and parents would all be better off if discipline policies were changed to protect those in school buildings from the most disruptive students (who are a minority). Those truly disruptive, abusive, and unruly students take up too much time and emotional weight. Teachers should not have to suffer abuse at the hands of students, just as students should not lose out on their education due to serious disruptions by other students. Children need structure. By allowing this minority of students to have so much power, teachers are exhausted, and children learn that rules are optional. Parents, too, wind up in defense mode. Getting zeros for late or missing work seems excessive when other students can burst in and out of classrooms, throw items at teachers, and attack other kids at recess. Seriously. If you want discipline, then find a way to address the kids for whom conventional discipline strategies don't work. [/quote]

I think people have the idea that the law says these disruptive students need to be in a normal school and not in a special school for kids with behavioral issues. I don’t know where they got that since I think the word appropriate implies that it needs to be appropriate for everyone and not just that problem student, but maybe this issue needs to go to the Supreme Court for an official ruling so that school districts all around the country can finally kick out these problem students and start to get learning back on track for everyone else.[/quote]
