Good post.
Nor are responsible parents at fault if the teachers are forced to spend 99% of their time disciplining the wild kids, leaving no time to teach the small number of kids who are actually there to learn.
This is low hanging fruit, a problem with a laughably simple solution. This isn't splitting the atom.
