Abstract: The article focuses on challenges teachers face with worsening student behavior in U.S. schools and the complex role of parents and administrators in addressing discipline. It highlights a shift from strict "zero tolerance" policies to restorative approaches, which have had mixed success, and notes that many teachers feel unsupported by both parents—who often resist disciplinary measures—and school leadership. Case studies from schools in Chicago, Georgia, Delaware, and Wisconsin illustrate efforts to improve behavior through data-driven interventions, parent engagement, and social-emotional learning (SEL) training for teachers. The article underscores the need for stronger collaboration among teachers, parents, and administrators to create supportive school environments and effective discipline strategies.
