The disruptive child has parents who donate a generous dirty amount of money to school. Disruptive children from disruptive parents attend a school with disruptive administration. We did not want to live in a disruptive environment.

Forced parenting classes .. and you get to pay for the privilege. And your kid is called the Bad Kid who is separated from the Good Kids. Sounds like a really bad dystopian YA book.

Sounds to me like responding PP has a disruptive kid and has weak parenting skills. Seriously, this would only bother you IF you know your kid and your parenting skills aren't good.

And yes, my use of "good kids" there was on purpose. The disruptive kid's parents are made to come into the school weekly to meet with administrators and teachers and called daily with reports on their kid. I know of cases where parents of disruptive kids were required to take parenting skills classes at the school and the kid was required to see the school counselor and/or a psychiatrist weekly. IMO this is exactly the correct response. A badly behaved kid usually has parents who don't know how to parent correctly, or perhaps are too lazy and entitled to do so. Dealing with the "whole picture" of both the behavior of the kikd and the parenting skills is exactly right.
