While I'm not sure exactly how eliminating the Dept/Ed will solve this
problem, I once saw a 100lb math teacher put a football player on the floor
for acting as if he were about to strike her(he may well have been).  She
held him there for several moments until she got an apology and his word he
would never do that again.  She didn't call the cops, or the principal, and
neither did he.  When she died a few years back, the kid, now a teacher
himself(and football coach, but we won't hold that against him), was one of
her pall bearers and cried as hard over her passing as any member of her
family.

Brute force isn't usually the best way to deal with disruptive students, but
some will learn their lesson no other way.

Tell me why we should be spending more money on this monopoly?

My solution is to eliminate the Federal Dept of Education.
