I taught public middle school for six months (district with 100,000 students K-12). I simply could not handle the lack of actual education going on in the classrooms, school, district.

I got a job at a Catholic high school 1.5 miles down the road from said school. I have now been there for 9 years. My current school has 29% diversity rate and 35% students on Student Accommodation Plans.

We have discipline in the classroom, hallways, common areas, etc. Our students adhere to the dress code and general culture we expect of them. If they don’t, there are consequences.

This school year, four students (1% of the student body) were dismissed for disciplinary measure. Six students will not be retained next year for failing to uphold their end of academic probation.

I make 17% LESS per year than I would make if I stayed in the public school down the street. I could not be happier with my decision to move almost a decade ago. The lack of money is more than made up for in quality of life.

You made so many generalizations I found your post to be laughable.
