I think probably half the students want to learn but are held back by the feral other half who have no interest in learning anything or doing anything except making trouble. It would be for the best if we could cull the useless members and keep them permanently separated from the rest.
I sent my son to the Marine Academy in Harlingen, Texas for this very same reason (93, 94, 95).
It is run by retired marines IN UNIFORM.
I always was on the side of the administration in letter wars with meddlesome parents trying to force the Marines to go easy on their little boys!
Walk down the halls of a classroom bldg and you can hear a pen drop, literally! There is never an unruly class. Kids are sitting up paying attention and learning! Top teachers teach there. Some with PHD’s!
Is very expensive today though. Was about 15k per year on average back then.
It’s a crime this kind of education is not available to the kids u speak of who want to learn!

That would require a willingness to hold back the troublemakers and thus expose them to social sigma. that is yet anther form of accountability that Leftist run schools in leftist dominated school districts have been campaigning against for decades. Not just in students but the teachers as well.
There is a very good reason Minority and other leftist dominated school districts have a great many bad teachers, the same reason they have so many bad students. They have no accountability and their probably dealing with a population that has more trouble makers than normal simply because if that is an inherited trait then the parents also disposed towards trouble probably are poor for the same reason.
They need displin and insentives, They need to be held back and the student must fear that social sigman to drive them forward and invest their time in their studies. That is in fact one of the most powerful ways to motivated children who often care about little more than how their friends see them.
