That's dumb, every kid who has ever gone through elementary school has had a disruptive kid at some point.

Thats what i was thinking. We were straight A students and class was so boring we had to find ways to "disrupt the class" to kill our boredom.

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.

There are way too many unknown variables to take this study seriously.

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.

just curious... how did they determine the definition of disruptive in this study and how many kids were disruptive? Did they ask the subject whose earnings were being studied to recall disruptive peers?

Should make sure the kids know this. Encourage them to give a code red to anyone acting the fool.

No way you can control for all the other variables that would influence those outcomes. Disruption in a classroom is more likely just one symptom of a larger overall problem with being in both an educational and home environment that contributes to those outcomes.
