"The study found that having a disruptive classmate can have long-term effects. In a class of 25, having one additional disruptive student can lower test scores and reduce future earnings by about 3%. Even one year of exposure can have a lasting impact. The researchers estimate that this effect is similar to having a teacher whose quality is significantly lower, and that one year of exposure could reduce classmates’ future earnings by about $80,000."

It is an interesting study.

Done using Alachua County Florida school data

Elementary school student records: Students in Alachua County, Florida, mainly from 3rd–5th grades, used to identify students and their classmates.

Domestic violence court records: Public records of domestic violence cases in Alachua County from 1993–2003, including names, addresses, and filing dates, used to identify students connected to domestic violence.

Florida Department of Education test scores: Standardized math and reading test scores from grades 6–10, used to measure students’ later academic performance.

College enrollment and degree data:
Information through 2012 on college attendance, courses, and degrees from the Florida Department of Education and the National Student Clearinghouse.

Earnings data: Quarterly earnings from 2000–2013 for students working in Florida, adjusted to 2013 dollars, with a focus on earnings between ages 24–28.

FYI

"Sweet viburnum can get 15-30 ft tall and 10-15 ft wide if left alone, but as a hedge it's usually kept around 6-12 ft.
For a quicker privacy screen, plant about 4 ft apart.
For healthier growth and less crowding, go closer to 5 ft apart.
Keep 3-4 ft away from fences or walls for airflow and trimming.

A staggered double row makes a very dense hedge if you have the room. They like well-drained soil."

Depends on species some grow can 18 feet plus. They do grow fast and can be placed pretty closely.

How about viburnum. There are many types but they are relatively fast growing.

Some data recovery companies offer a “No Data, No Charge” policy.
But ask about any diagnostic or return shipping fees if they can’t recover your data. Some provide a list or sample of recoverable data before you decide whether to continue. I’ve had hits and misses. Be prepared for disappointment.

It reminds me of Politifact's insistence that Zohran Mamdani isn't a communist because he didn't use the word on his website.

Sure, he SAYS he wants to seize the means of production, but calling him a communist is false!

The thing is, no matter how many times the Pravda Media says that the DSA Democrats aren't communists, the DSA communists keep saying that they are, in fact, communists, and their platform is every bit as radical as their critics say so.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.: that is the full name of the junior Senator from Illinois — neither a contrivance nor, at face value, a slur.

But John McCain couldn’t apologize quickly enough after Bill Cunningham, a conservative talk radio host, warmed up a Cincinnati rally with a few loaded references to “Barack Hussein Obama.”

Asked afterwards if it was appropriate to use the Senator’s middle name, McCain said, “No, it is not. Any comment that is disparaging of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama is totally inappropriate.”
