The number one problem within public education is behavioral. Chronically misbehaving, disruptive students hijack the education of the other students. Yes, the success of some charter schools is rooted in higher expectations, but above academic expectations, the successful charter schools begin with higher behavioral expectations. Instead of restorative justice circles and trauma-informed care woo-woo, the ones serving impoverished populations have very regimented routines that students must follow. And they work.
BTW, the education professors who foist this woo-woo on propsective teachers, do not for a second tolerate disruptive nonsense in their own college classrooms nor do they excuse any of it based upon the "trauma" their students may have experienced.
Even some lefties get this, like the author linked below. Obviously, I disagree with some of his analysis, but his prescription is dead-on.
