There are a lot of other issues as well. When I was in school I would have been horrified if I had screwed up and my parents were notified. My parents *would not* have blamed the school. They would have tanned my hide. These days parents instantly think the school is picking on their kid. The complete lack of discipline at home and the litigious atmosphere in this country which keeps the schools from enforcing anything has allowed the students to do as they wish. Tough being a teacher these days.
One of our history teachers was the baseball coach. He kept a softball in his desk. He had one of the school's wise-asses in his class. One day the punk started acting up and the teacher gave him three steps toward the door before he nailed him with the softball. The punk didn't make it. Another teacher, who was the only African American teacher I had through school, flipped one of those one-piece desks with the student still in it. The student had called him the n-word. No action was taken against either teacher. As far as I know, neither student even bothered reporting the incidents. It was just the way it was back then.
