I like the idea of smaller classrooms a lot! The US spends lots on education though, right? Is this not achievable within current spending, with sensible allocation of resources?

Here's the thing. The us problem is based on each locality.

One near me over the last decade have closed around 5 elementary schools.

You also have school choice vouchers. And the ruling from Maine now that will shuffle public funds to private schools. This hurts minorities and urban areas disproportionately as compared to rural counterparts.

Federal governments have been reducing public education for about 60ish years. Republicans love to reduce public education funding.

The reduction of federal funding have more closely aligned property taxes to fund schooling which, again, disproportionately harms poor areas more than rich (including poor rural areas).

Teacher pay hasn't kept pace with inflation while administrators like principals who don't do a whole lot in the grand scheme are paid an obscene amount of money.

There is more to it, however, you can see this is a complex multi-faceted problem that does nothing but hurt children

Expand social programs / after school programs
Raise minimum wage
Paid parental leave
Ease of access to childcare
Getting rid of red lining


Or the GOP solution:

Thoughts and prayers
Blame unrelated shit

Minimum wage in Minneapolis has already increased to $15, which makes no difference when the single mom is unemployed and already living off the "expanded social programs". Parental leave also makes no difference when the single mom already doesn't work and the dad is nowhere to be found.

Red lining has been illegal for over half a century, and who the shit wants to work in childcare or send their kids there if it's full of violent shitbag kids whose parents don't even teach them basic manners?

No amount of throwing other people's money into the money hole is going to solve the problem of parents who don't even teach their kids the absolute minimum level of decency, and most of these problems are in places that already have extremely liberal welfare states.

Make abortions illegal. That should fix it. And a border fence?

Reclining is still quite common. See insurance or transportation

That's it dude, the solution is of course killing the babies instead of fixing what's wrong with the adults who are supposed to raise them. Yeah, that oughta teach responsibility to people who never learned what it is..
Oh and yes, open borders is a fantastic idea when you have a fucking narco-state on the other side a few others below it.

Does it have to do with being poor?
Each day if you want to, you can turn on the TV and see migrants coming to America from thousands of miles away on foot in search for a better life. They have nothing but the shirt on their backs.

They come to America and a LOT of them raise children that are very successful. So what's different?

Poor Americans receive aid to stay home (welfare) programs for food, housing, utilities, cell phones, internet ect. You can also write off your child care on your taxes. They also get a refund from the IRS even tho they didn't pay taxes. But they still can't figure it out, why?

Migrants can, why? Hard work? Family values? Religion? What's the difference here? How the hell can poor migrants that walked to America make it but these Americans can't?

I think its pretty simple to see but for some odd reason we just keep on making excuses, why?

 

[Lord_Impaler]

There’s nothing that can be done. You would need a radically different state structure that essentially removes these types from their homes.

 

[Yehudim]

Word.

It was quite an epiphany when I came to realize how well I was actually raised. Like yeah, there's basic shit such as common courtesy, discipline and manners to be taught but parents also need to be giving them undivided attention, engaging their innate interests and cultivating others, incentivizing good behavior and rewarding performance. I didn't grow up in an "extended family" per se but everybody was close by and always around, huge cookouts together all the time.

We went to church every week; they took me camping, fishing, hunting, off-roading, shooting, to sprint car races. My childhood "leisure" time was always active, usually outdoors and fucking awesome IMO. I would often go with my dad to help on carpentry, masonry and roofing side projects he was doing. This dude taught me life skills, mechanical skills, outdoors survival skills, self-defense skills. He instilled self-reliance and an indomitable work ethic.

I omitted a word by accident so to be clear, I meant that most kids are not like the the thuggish little brats in OP, because most parents are NOT piles of shit.

I’m not saying parenting is exceptional these days, it seems to be the contrary, but it takes exceptionally bad parenting to have a kid in diapers cussing and hitting people.

It does not require an income above the poverty line or even two parents in the household to teach a child that young to be respectful or at least, not a thug. It does require some class though, but money can’t buy that.

Most likely an "adult " put the kid up to this. Most likely told him the police were there to take is mother away and to go after the cops.

Which brings us back to shit parents and people around kids. That's the cause of this type of behavior.

What do to try and fix this is the debated question. Throwing money at it is not going to fix it. Taking the child and putting them in over crowded and for a lot kids shitty foster care is not going to fix it.

What is lost with a large number of parents is the "how can I make my kids life's better then mine ". The answers as ithas been, Education. No mater is it's trade schools or college .
At one time poor parents in most cases though " my life my be hard but I will guide my children in education so they can have a better life".

Shocking those cops didnt handcuff or shoot any of them.

Abortion is only killing "babies" in the terms of certain religious definition. So don't have one or if you are a male, wait until marriage.

I never said open boarders but go on with that dull narrative, especially about the narco-state that the US is partially responsible for creating.

Plus, I was lightly joking on what a small group of people find so important to focus on this country versus more important things that the majority would like to address, such as helping to create positive environments for children to be raised than "killing babies" which is defined as "a very young child, especially one newly or recently born" which again, is not what legal abortion is/was.

If you teach people that they are victims they will mostly act like victims.

This video was just released it has zero to do with race so please dont make it about race as we're seeing kids of all races act up.
This is proof positive it starts with parents. Where do you think they learned this behavior from? We have a parenting issue in this country. What can be done to turn things around?

Honestly why shouldn't that be about race ? I've never seen a kid irl or in a video act in this way against police. Some of them are almost toddlers FFS, that's unreal. Aknowledging a problem within a racial group isn't throwing the whole race in the shit bin. It's just what it is, facing the stuff at hand. You cannot solve a problem without facing it. Being french the american politics subtilities arent my forte but I know that the only race that let they preteens roam around past midnight around Paris were africans. That's just the way it is. And it's bad all the way around. I mean those kids will be subjected to street life way to young and will probably grow up in style, and talk about a free field for s...

Preemptively killing them is your solution?
