Just proves "what's old is new again" in education. With all the new rules and zero-tolerance policies your, your options as a teacher are to either let the kid continue or have him kicked out of school permanently. Gone are the days of detention, sitting in the VP's office, or student-parent-teacher meetings.

The breakdown of the family is what I consider the largest contributor to failing students. It's already hard enough to work and come home to do more work. Add in the guidance a kid needs and you are too tired to provide. You have a good chance that your kid is being raised by their friends and not you. Even if most of your kids friends are good it only takes one to spoil them all.
