My previous employer is an IT contractor that supports schools all throughout New England.
You can thank shitty parenting and lawyers for the current state of our schools. School board of eds and administrators have their own issues, but they are all scared to death of the parents. There are too many kids labeled "special needs" who really just have behavioral problems and need a swift kick in the ass. Kids who were never told "no" by their parents, and you can bet the minute the kid is disciplined by the school the parent will have a lawsuit ready with their mile long list of disabilities they claim the child is suffering from.
The kids can assault teachers, administrators, and other students and nothing will be done. Many of the teachers I worked with while in my previous role have actually left teaching and a lot of the schools have a teaching shortage which I don't believe will change until some serious changes are made.
