Principals and school boards will happily let 20 kids with severe behavioral problems ruin the education of another 600 children in the district every year rather than face a lawsuit from even 1 parent by removing those students to a separate instructional facility.
it's not even about lawsuits. i believe most of these admins are true believers that we should devote disproportionate amount of our resources to "save" the kids, at the expense of educating the 95% of the student population. it's disgusting and a mentality that dooms so many black students with potential. it makes me legit angry

Even worse they think I closing the Gap in performance between the top and the bottom is more important than increasing overall performance

Most people don’t grasp 1) the scope and severity of children acting out in elementary school and 2) the resources requires to handle the 1% of students who are worst offenders.
You take the worst three kids out of a school of 300 and find alternative schooling for them and your education reform will happen all by itself.

anecdotal story here - but I spent the years 2000-2013 teaching high school math where the principal openly stated it was about preventing lawsuits - that the School Board was deathly afraid of lawsuits. That and maintaining attendance levels were their only motivations.
I don't recall a single meeting where the emphasis was on improving the learning environment.
