IME the sub is filled with libs with a purely individualist perspective on the behaviour of the students they whine about. There is no conception that there are greater material and social forces that might maximize the chance that certain kids act out while other kids are polite and do all their homework without asking. Instead they're putting the blame on literal children and then don't understand why that might actually make at-risk kids display antisocial behaviour.

They seem to understand. Usually it starts at home, and even in my experience parents of annoying asshole kids are also annoying assholes. Obviously there are more larger factors, but you often imitate your supposed role models. Teachers just don’t have the power to do anything about it

They understand it starts at home but they never seem to wonder why it starts in some homes and not others. What are the material reasons why some parents are able to give their children a lot of attention, support, counselling and care while other parents aren't? Blaming parents is basically the same thing as blaming children at a certain point.

Teachers have the power to deal with the children compassionately, rather than blame them for being bad individuals
