Students cannot be allowed to act however they want in classrooms. There must be accountability for actions. We are not preparing students for the workforce if they are allowed to be disrespectful in classrooms. This is also true at home. Parents must be parents.

If the goal is to create readers, then let them read what they want at home/free-time, even comics. Comic books average 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with an average of 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and also higher than the adult average of 52.7

Finland studied U.S. schools in the 1970s. They loved our focus on play, the whole child, and teacher/ school control. So they built their system on it. We replaced it with tests. They kept the soul of education. We sold ours for standardized testing.
