There's one particular variable in all of these examples and videos that is conveniently elided by the authors, which is that most of these seem like inner-city schools. Children born into poverty with lackluster parenting are more likely to act out, the presence of social media notwithstanding.

I believe it’s state sanctioned child abuse to require kids to attend a bad, inner city school.

Get rid of compulsory schooling and leave it open to all who want it. The animals will leave on their own.

I'm having a hard time reading this as a reasonable suggestion, so I apologize in advance if I'm being closed-minded.

Do you not believe that this would lead to further bad outcomes? Children need something to do during the day, and with neither the ability to work, nor other obligations (not to mention their brains are not fully developed) it seems like they would end up far worse off than they would otherwise, even if the school was under-performing.
