I doubt if we can impose discipline in our high schools at this point. There would undoubtedly be claims of racism .The liberal courts would step in and shoot improved discipline down.The main question is how to achieve this discipline.
The best solution in my opinion is private schools. School vouchers might make paying the cost of a private school possible for the lower income people.
Florida Sen. Corey Simon seeks universal vouchers for public, private schools
Simon goes further than HB 1's call to expand the family empowerment and tax credit scholarship programs. He wants a review of all education statutes.

Freshman Sen. Corey Simon, R-Tallahassee, took the House’s school choice proposal and upped the ante.
Both proposals to make most Florida families eligible for private school vouchers are comprehensive packages, but Simon's includes a provision designed to provide public school superintendents and teachers something they have long asked for – a level playing field – a request that public school advocates have longed asked be done.
Simon’s SB 202, like HB 1, would expand the family empowerment and tax credit scholarship programs, but Simon seeks to make the vouchers universal, while the House attaches some minor requirements.
The measure also requires the State Board of Education to review Florida education statutes with an eye toward reducing regulations on public schools so they can better compete with private schools that accept vouchers.
