It actually is the job of the tax payer to fund public education. Much like how your taxes fund sports team your kids don’t play on, musicals your kids may or may not participate in, or classrooms your kid doesn’t go into. It is also the job of the tax payer to pay for services that other people’s children may need.
It’s weird to me, I’m sure both of us know full grown adults that can’t regulate their emotions, so why are we to expect the children of those adults to be able to do so? It’s setting people up for failure.

Nope…. Just graduated college with 0 disciplinary marks from K-Graduation.
I just value what public education has done for my life, and find you to be brain dead for thinking it ok to enslave and ruin the life of a 14 year old without even trying to address the problems that may have led to their lack of emotional regulation.

“Everything is about building a relationship with the violent student and trying to coach emotional regulation.”
As opposed to…. What exactly?
School isn’t just for teaching the Pythagorean Theorem, it’s also about proper socialization and how to work with people you like/dislike/hate because that what you do in the real world. The idea that an 8th grader doesn’t need help in their emotional development is laughable, and to think all parents will do their due diligence in teaching emotional regulation is a pipe dream

Tf does our collective choice to underpay teachers have to do with people making bad decisions.
Like the logical throughline here is “teachers who live in squalor deserve such, and they’re just as stupid as people who move next to race tracks and bitch about the noise.”

Politics shouldn’t be a career, but those serving us should make enough to live without needing a job or outside donors.
Term limits and a full-time state medianincome salary would satisfy both of those requests.

So just to confirm, children of parents with the inability to emotionally regulate should be condemned to a life without the basic fundamentals and requirements of even the most “unskilled” labor.
No high school degree, no attempt to curve undesirable behavior, just throw them to the wolves and wait for them to commit serious offenses in the real world.
