Yes, let us get back to the days when there was discipline. And those who do not measure up get treated accordingly. Today these unruly brats are treat as victims, or someone special, or representative of an offended group or minority group....actually discriminating against the rights of the majority.

Get back to special classes or even special schools where there is some authority to get some results....thus not affecting the other 99% that are in school to be educated.

A clear dose of reality is needed in those who administer schools deferring to the problems rather than do something about them.
