Some kids need beating
I think it's pretty stupid how little teachers are able to do about students who behave badly. And it's to every other kid's benefit if the teacher deals with it permanently and can get on with teaching.
Failing grades need to be brought back - public school is easy as hell because it's pretty near impossible to actually fail and get held back. If you're a slower learner (and some people are) you shouldn't move ahead at the same speed as everyone, but at the speed at which you learn what you are supposed to.
