Is public education doomed? Between the loss of control in the classroom and the added decimation of learning due to the 2 year pandemic, is any learning going on at all? Do teachers need to be tougher in the classroom to rein in unruly students? Does the disrespect for authority and discipline find its roots in the home?

Student behavior in schools seems to be out of control. Disrespect for teachers and authority. Kids with faces buried in the phones. Weapons,,, fights.... the need for metal detectors and security. How can a teacher maintain order in the classroom when outgunned by litigious parents who feel their little darling is incapable of wrong? It's a zoo! Where does the job or reining in the unruly begin? At home? In the classroom? Both?
