That luxury is not available in smaller schools, especially elementary schools.

And, an average kid not smart enough for honor classes still gets stuck with disruptive, undisciplined kids. And teachers don't and can't enforce discipline.

Its depends on the school, the location and how many kids in a class. When you have 30 kids, its very difficult to try and deal with the 4 or 5 problems. Its been shown statistically that if you get the classroom population down to around 20, its gets much easier to manage a classroom with problem kids. However, the problem is too much education money is going to the suburban schools where there are few problems and not enough to inner city schools.

In one school where I did a practicum, they move the problem kids out of the classroom to a special classroom where the teacher student ratio is closer to one on one. If there is not a opening for a kid, they have volunteers accompany the problem child from classroom to classroom. When he or she acts up, they are there to intercede leaving the teacher free to deal with his/her other students.

Most good school districts recognize the problem, and know what the solutions are but they are chronically short of funds which prevents them from implementing the proper solutions.
