Further down in the comments I see about the only useful suggestion: cameras in classrooms.
Frankly, I don't know why any school doesn't have cameras everywhere. Like badge cams have helped police out of bullshit complaints, cameras at school would do the same thing for teachers.
Because teachers freaked the fuck out back during covid, when all of a sudden parents could actually sit in and listen to all the lessons these teachers were doing.
For some strange reason, they took offense to that. Can't imagine why.
I agree with the idea of having body cams on teachers but the problem is there are laws when it comes to filming minors depending on the jurisdiction and things like that. I suspect that like with these students who are filming shit in school if video evidence came out showing what was really going on it would shock a lot of normies.
Well for starters, schools are woefully underfunded in the US. And these days probably manage what they do get even more poorly due to clownworld pursuits.

This is a lie, and even if it weren't, there's zero correlation between funding per student and quality of education. Some of the most expensive per-student schools in the US/world produce some of the worst outcomes.
It would probably be more honest to say schools are blatantly broken due to public unions, funding being swallowed up by administrators, and fraud on contracts. This is why city schools are suffering miserably to the point even basic charter schools are able to compete despite local government trying to shut them down. It’s also why homeschooling is skyrocketing. Schools are not underfunded, they’re just full of corrupt, malicious, and incompetent people who make sure that all the funding benefits them .
The very idea of a union whose members are paid using your tax dollars is infuriating. You get all the problems of a union with all the problems of government bureaucracy rolled into one.
At least in my union we don't steal from the taxpayer.
I think that corruption has, evidently, spread even further in recent years as well, far beyond that of inner city schools. Not that it's necesarily pozzed in every school, but that ratio is... not something to get hopeful over.
You know, you're probably right I might've mispoke there. I did at least try to highlight how wasteful schools are though. And I was only talking about public schools, not colleges and universities.
I must've had an NPC moment there because I don't even remember how specifically I'd been given the impression that schools were underfunded. Might've been something locally specific and the details got muddled in my head after a while.
it's probably more accurate to say that the relevant parts of schools are underfunded, by which I mean all the administrative staff sucks up all the dollars and provides very little value in exchange because they're basically parasites.
Underfunded? On what fucking planet can Baltimore schools, which spend more than thirteen thousand dollars per student but graduate maybe five percent of their students that can read at grade level EVER be called "underfunded?"
As Baltimore is majority black, can we get that spending deducted from any reparations plan? If money is already being thrown at black Americans at a higher rate than other races, it should count.

People who want to brainwash and fuck your kids will claim having cameras in classrooms violates the privacy of the kids.

And teacher unions are a big, big thing.

I'd wear a body cam like a police officer.

Baltimore schools have the highest per-pupil funding in the nation, and their schools look like Port au Prince.

Meanwhile massive school districts out in bumfuck, nowheresville spend a quarter to a third and get results that are 100 times better.
I know someone who teaches there. As bad as you think it is, its way way worse.
