I got the idea from a documentary about a reform school that was required to provide classes for the kids, but they would attack their teachers and fellow students. They put kids in individual rooms with windows that opened into a courtyard. The teacher sat in the courtyard and taught them.
My idea doesn't require all that construction. Just have the kid get into a plexiglass box before he comes into the building with a student desk inside. The box should be mounted on wheels with peer volunteers to push him from class to class. The box should be soundproof but with inside speaker and outside microphone so the student can hear the class, but the class cannot hear him when he starts blurting out profanity, racial slurs, or sexual comments.
If the kid makes obscene gestures, or flashes other students, as they do now and the class just has to put up with it, his box can be made opaque with cameras outside and a screen inside for him.
I'm going to build a protoype out of those damn 2X4 and plexiglass dividers that my district used as "anti-COVID" measures. They gave them away at the beginning this year, and my wife, who is into all kinds of crafts, got about fifty of them.
