When disruptive students know there are no consequences, they most hurt the students who want to learn. It's a tough choice but students who want to learn should be the priority.
Give choice a try. Were we spend our education dollar should be a news staple.
Well written, Amit. California politicians might be setting up students, and staff, for much more than failure… Not only do we have Chuck Schumer and complicit Dems failing to bring up a school safety bill (an attempt to keep school kids and staff safe from outside threats) up for a vote but we now have California politicians doubling down and allowing threats to school kids and staff from inside schools. Potential teachers should keep this in mind when they look for jobs because California is not your friend. Perhaps you can negotiate multi-million dollar disability and life insurance payout policies… but would it be worth your health and safety?
