A question for the teachers here, but is part of the problem that teachers don't have the tools to discipline kids like they used to? When I was in school, there were pretty heavy handed tactics to break kids and correct distracting and impulsive behaviour.
I am not saying we have to go back to full on corporeal punishment, but I will say that when my grade 5 teacher shattered a meter stick across my lower back, I didn't act up after that.
