My son came home from school with an additional 350 Spanish words to define because another kid was acting up. The other kid was irritating the teacher on purpose because "I don't care, I'm not going to do them anyway."

My son has been working very hard to keep his grades up, he's getting his driver's license and his grades affect our insurance rates (a rant for another day).

This type of peer pressure doesn't work! I'm SO tired of having my son doing homework until all hours of the night because OTHER kids are acting up. It's the same bleeping kids in every class. Whatever happened to kicking those kids out of the class and having the principal and parents deal with them?
