84. Maybe we need to take unmanageable kids

out of regular classrooms and place them in separate schools, not just in-school detention.

Schools for difficult students used to be called "detention schools" when I was a kid.

Mild, occasional behavior problems were handled between the regular school, the principle, parents, and teacher, maybe also the school psychologist.

But chronically, seriously unamanageable kids were expelled and placed in a school with staff trained for teaching students with behavioral problems. I have heard that those schools were sometimes abusive toward students sent to them, which might be why they no longer exist. Or they focused solely on discipline without any real learning.

But something has to be done to make schools safe for students and faculty.

Problem students from problem families definitely need help, but they are not getting help by letting them control classrooms, teachers, and schools while other students suffer the consequences.
