This article from 8 months ago shows how effed up our educational system is

Original article: Violent kids take over Florida’s classrooms, and they have the law on their side from Sun Sentinel. You may search it on Google

It's a really long article, so here's the reader's digest's reader's digest version of it. So, pardon me if there's any inaccuracy

1. Schools in lower income-level areas tend to have more behavioral problems than the ones in higher-income areas, but a vast majority of teachers universally are saying that behavioral problems and violence (such as beating up teachers and other students, throwing things, and threatening to kill another student) from students are getting more rampant
2. A lot of the schoolchildren with disabilities that contributes to their violent behavior are essentially ignored, and federal and state laws are prohibiting the schools from expelling the students or sending them to alternative schools. They are required by law to keep the violent students in the classrooms unless they are committing a felony (no, punching a teacher is not a felony)
   1. The more effed up thing is that the teachers cannot tell the bullying victims' parents that their children were bullied. One teacher decided to break the law to tell the victim's parent to move her child to another school

That's what happened with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when Nikolas Cruz was kept in the classrooms despite his violent past, and the rest is history.

This article showcases:

1. How effed up our educational system is by a.) mixing individuals who otherwise should be in alternative schools or even psychiatric wards at other countries in regular classrooms and b.) not having the resources to take care of the children with disabilities. When I say disabilities, I mean schoolchildren who are clinically violent. Some just don't understand that children can be very violent
2. How public policy shapes everything in our lives
3. Last but not least, how our government, media, and politics are not even talking about this 24/7. It is essentially what every other Americans are facing or faced, including yours truly, but no one is talking about reforming our educational system to make sure everyone is having a safe learning environment because the policymakers do not care about anything as long as they can send their children to private schools
