Agreed, but teachers can't be expected to be the only ones providing this help.

Other public institutions outside the school system need to be in place to support the parents who are stressed and overworked and barely have time to parent.

And their right to be helped stops at the line where they're causing harm to the learning of others.

Discipline in schools isn't and cannot be about holistically reforming the problem kids, it's about making sure those who want to learn can.

You can't dump the entirety of systemic poverty, racism, mental health, etc. on the education system and expect it to work well.
