Two of my kids became teachers recently. They said a lot of the kids are completely disrespectful, some violent, and also can’t read or write the appropriate grade level because of the newer pass them through system (no kid left behind). Much of their day is behavior management and not teaching. My wife and I are surprised because an 8-12 year old will do things we can even imagine trying to get away with at that age.
