re: A disruptive peer in elementary school leads to a 3% decrease in future earnings

Stuff like this is why I entertain the idea of making school non-compulsory after, say, 5th grade.

I know there will be negative consequences to that but man, so much of running K-12 is behavior management as opposed to education. It’s a problem.

Send your kids to white schools. Didn’t need a study to tell me this

Fascinating reading. Misbehaving students exact a measurable, economic cost on peers.

So, it's not racist statues and lack of grocery stores???

This is not hard to believe at all. Any elementary school teacher will tell you a disruptive student affects the whole class.
