Re: Demonstration of What's Wrong With Public Education

Time for a nationwide strike, all teachers should just stay home until they have the right to exclude children from their classroom who will not cooperate.
It is not a constitutional right to receive an education. The government provides classrooms, teachers, etc. but it is up to the parents to provide a willing student.
If the parents will not do that one thing, the parents can just home school the kid.
My MIL and wife are retired teachers, my son is currently teaching 8th grade. The problems they have faced so far are minor, but getting worse, and I am talking about conservative western states. No way would I have allowed my wife to teach in the environment mentioned in the OP. We would get by on beans and rice first....
