Obama’s lax discipline policies made schools dangerous
This seldom reported in "the news." The Obama policies have had adverse effect on education, causing school discipline to deteriorate, make things more difficult for teachers. I know from my many contacts with present and former teachers that lack of ability to enforce at least basic discipline in the classroom ends up forcing teachers to spend most of their effort trying to deal with a fraction of the kids who are difficult, while the rest of the class doesn't get much of a chance to benefit from good teaching. This is why the move by minority parents to get their kids into magnet schools is so strong, they want their kids to have a shot at a good education and they know that in too many public schools that won't be as easy to get. What's really sad is the spiral where the more responsible parents take their kids out of such schools, which then just makes the troublemaker kids a larger and more powerful group and even more difficult to deal with. Then hardly anybody has a chance to learn. --Del
