Schools aren't equipped to handle every "trouble-maker." Schools are meant to educate our children, not to fix every deficiency they have because they aren't getting what they need from their parents or elsewhere. If your goal is to get schools to be that for children, you are setting yourself up for failure. We have a problem with our society (e.g., poverty and the culture that poverty creates) and it is bleeding into our schools. A school-based solution, absent of anything to treat the root problems, will be superficial and ineffective.

It's not always poverty. Not everyone values the same things.
