The bigger problem at SFUSD, and public schools in general, is being unable to expel or suspend kids, mostly due to fear of lawsuits. Unintended consequence: kids have no fear of repercussions, teachers have no real authority and everyone ends up arguing about vagueries like "equity" and "giftedness" instead the actual work of education (which is increasingly left to parents and tutors).
