Can you provide an evidence that teachers’ unions have gotten rich due to the federal dept of ed?
You people should be ashamed of what you’ve done. Worst of all is the traumatizing fear so many innocent children suffer just by having to attend these institutions.
Hard working devoted teachers are being driven out of their professions because of the relentless classroom violence you have allowed.
It’s no surprise that American students continue to fall behind the rest of the world. Our tax dollars are being squandered by your union bosses.
Enough is enough.

I tried too OP but as others have pointed out it does not work that way. I pulled DD and put her into a private school.

Didn’t kids used to just get sent home for unruly behavior? Parent gets called in from their job to fetch their kid.

You could:
Move your kid.
Reach out to the principal and superintendant about how the child's behavior is impacting your stduent. Don't say "Sally's mom is a crappy parent and won't work with the school and SAlly's a dumb kid who won't shut up." Say "Sally's incessant talking is impacting my child's ability to learn" Make this about your child, not about the other one or their parents.
Without knowing if the parents are working with the school system all you have is speculation. Getting a child privately placed by a school system is incredibly hard and requires a tremendous amoutn of resources and money.
This. OP, move your kid if you can. I would say change districts or change schools within your district but it's like this everywhere. Start looking at private schools. Use the money you would've used on a lawyer and put it toward your own kid's education.
Public schools are going to be majority low income and special education within 10 years because of situations like the OP describes. Mark my words.
Or we can dismantle the Departament of Education.
This is already happening. OP can sit around and wait and see how the changes will affect his or her DC or they can be proactive.
Why do Democrats want continued violence in our public schools?

At what point is the kid moved OUT? This is getting out of hand- get these kids out of these schools so our kids can learn and their teachers can teach!
You criticize the child’s mom.
Why aren’t you also criticizing the child’s father?
There might not be a dad. Some kids don’t have dads.
There might be a dad, but he’s not the permissive and enabling parent.
There might be a dad and he’s fighting the mom in family court over the way the kid is being raised.
OP sees the mom, we don’t know if there is a dad or his role.

I had students violently assaulted on a regular basis and when admin went to retaliate on teachers who reported incidents the union had a dog and pony show when they were ousting teachers with no support or protection. They even let us teachers stay until 8 pm rifing through their dumpster room to put together binder portfolios. It was very demoralizing and that was when I vowed never to teach again. It's an abusive profession
You again?
