Or perhaps we could try asking schools to do less. Based on my experience in education burnout in "Bad schools" comes from a handful of terror students, and in "good schools" from a handful of overly demanding parents.

Students who cannot behave in an appropriate manner shouldn't be the schools problem, they should be the parents problem. Ultimately they are the communities problem, but schools aren't the appropriate place to solve it.

Demanding parents is a different problem but is much easier to manage if you are treated as a professional(on par with a Lawyer, or Accountant) and have the ability to make professional decisions that require formal steps to challenge.



my ex wife worked in a nyc school. She had a lot of troubled kids she dealt with. all her complaints were about administration and travel time.

i reject your assessment.

And she dealt with an illiterate high school kid.
