Teachers have to spend far too much time dealing with unruly students. Administration does not hold the disruptive student accountable, nor do they address behavioral problems with the parents. When 8 year olds are allowed to "back-talk" and curse the School Resource Officer and teacher, without repercussion, the other students take note. This erodes the ability of the school to foster the values of citizenship and cooperation in their students. Instead, they learn that even legitimate authority figures can be ignored and disrespected, and that there are no consequences for misbehaving and disrupting the learning of others. Until the school administrators start holding students and parents responsible for poor behavior, no true learning can take place here, and that is why you see a high teacher turn-over. No one wants to spend years being cursed out by 8 year olds and know they can do nothing about it.
