>You can only hear so many stories of behavior before you start asking what the other students were learning while one kid goes on a 15 minute meltdown.
They're learning how to deal with people which is more important than the crap on the whiteboard.
I hear so much about how our schools are held back by accomidating problem students. Yet in my experience it was the students always disrupting the lesson plan and the class that caused me to learn shit. The teacher left to their own devices will merely teach kids how to get great marks in academic subjects which is a horrible waste of everybodies time. It only teaches people how to open doors.
That's a separate problem- students play dumb so class is easy as the teacher struggles to figure out how the kids made it so far. Then they get dinged when kids do miserably on standardized tests. And they don't dare just flunk them, or the parents will be in demanding the teachers head for disparaging their little genius.
