My close friend quit teaching because they were spending more time dealing with wild children than lecturing. Special needs children are now woven into the general school population and the burden to accommodate them is put onto the teacher, who may have little to no training on how to deal with them. Children adverse to learning will act out intentionally just to be sent to these isolation rooms; I have seen it myself. To top it off many of these children are on ADHD medication which doesn't benefit anyone either when it's fueling these outbursts.

Personally I blame the parents, and I can assure you they are more than happy to drop Billy off at school even if he gets locked in an undocumented isolation room all day because they want nothing to do with him either, leaving the teacher to become a parent as well. This is the result of poor child rearing and it has had a devastating effect on the quality of learning in public schools. If anyone should feel guilty it should be the parents, but they don't and that's the problem.

Your last comment is irrelevant to the topic and dishonest - I actually think you really don't understand the situation at all.

I totally understand and agree with your analysis of the problem, but I think blaming other people wouldn't make me feel better if I were in your shoes.

I think my last comment is quite relevant, and even though it might sound provocative, it's deadly sincere. I never thought that in a western country someone could allow this. I also agree that I don't know the situation so well, but discovering the existence of this practice in the US (and most importantly the fact that it is going on since so much time - accepted by the population) is a step forward in understanding your "culture".

Where are you from? Since you understand so much about the US, what policies would you implement here, and how do you propose getting those policies passed and funded?

Italy.

Vote the right guy.

Stop selling weapons as if they were candies and increase taxes to hire and develop teachers.

Problems abound.

"This month, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child gave Italy a failing grade on protecting minors from sexual exploitation.

In particular, the committee expressed concern “about the numerous cases of children having been sexually abused by religious personnel of the Catholic Church” and the “low number of investigations and criminal prosecutions” of those crimes.

And while other countries have taken a hard look at the problem of clerical abuse, Italy has approached it with something closer to a media blackout.

Experts consider Italy’s response to be one of the worst among Western nations, comparable to that of some African and Asian churches in which denial about clerical sex abuse is still rampant." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/world/europe/italy-cathol...

You are 100% right. The Church, but in general all religious organizations, are and have always been a plague for the society.

Curious though, how you're trying to attack me for having criticized your country. This is typical of those who cannot debate critically, and need to oppose whoever doesn't share their own beliefs. Like nationalists. Or fundamentalists.

Your try to move the focus to me (or my country) is nice but had no effect. This article is about something which is legal in your country, not in mine. In my country child abuses are performed by criminals, in your country they are backed up by law.

Um, ya, not happening anytime soon, and not really addressing the multitude of systemic problems that are occurring.
