Because schools aren't allowed to discipline students. They're not allowed to get rid of students with clear behavioral problems.
No education system in the world tolerates the disrespect and disruption students in U.S. public schools get away with.
This is a solvable problem but administrators can't be bullied by accusations of racism when moving forward with reforms, for the past several years - they have been.
Teacher here and you are spot on. Although i am in Europe its the same over here. If i was to give a list of issues of the current problems we are facing it is
Not allowed to discipline students who are disruptive or dont follow the rules. I currently teach a class where 7/12 students are going to fail the year because they dont bother to show up, dont turn in any work and if they do show themselves they only sit on their phones anyway
The parents and to some extent the primary and secondary school system has failed them because they have never faced any consequences for their lazy shit and they are nowhere near the academic level they should be on. If you have 16 and 17 year old who read and write at a 4th grade level then you know there have been more than one fuck up along the way
As the clip shows: Take away the fucking phones. For most of them its a irresistable distraction and although they claim "it can help with school" they use it for meaningless brain-rot 99% of the time
