You are a good responsible parent Nebe, which was my original point.

As i mentioned having a brother and son teaching in inner city schools,
and having substitute taught myself for 4 years after retiring i have a pretty good feel for what goes on.

It's not the facilities that need more $ thrown at them, it's more parents like yourself that put their kids first.

Like John said, kids have it tough. Parents need to go and spend a few days in their kid's school,
sitting in the classroom and changing classes to see what really goes on with the disruptions and how poorly kids treat each other.

The behavior issues fall on the parents, not the teachers or government. It all comes down to what kids are taught in the home.
