President Obama on Discipline

Hats off to President Obama for telling children to behave themselves in school as well as not answering the teacher back. This needs to be said. Now, what's going to happen to those recalcitrants who refuse to behave themselves? We must tighten up our disciplinary procedures. Too many children are getting away with a lot.
Other than telling teachers that all children can learn, what is the system doing about chronically disruptive children? We need the return of the 600 school in N.Y.C. for unruly youngsters. We did away with the 600 schools years ago and we're still paying a price for it in N.Y.C. schools.
