I worry that so much is being done on this stuff that it takes away the primary focus of education. Besides, shouldn't most of these discipline issues be corrected by parents at a young age? I truly believe that many of the problems in school start at home.
Sadly, the whole concept of "education" has become perverted to the point that I'm not sure it will ever recover.
That said, it's a sad but true fact that there are parents out there who leave the whole idea of child rearing to the schools. (Of course, if the school teaches the child something objectionable to the parents who thus far have had no interest in what the child learns, the parents will raise holy hell about it, but I digress.)
I got my first real example of how differently children are raised when I started kindergarten. Before I even entered the school for the first time, I could read and write (at a level several years ahead of my age, but that's beside the point, which is that I could read and write), I knew shapes, colors, how to tell time and use a calendar, and had a basic understanding of simple arithmetic. So many of my classmates had little to no concept of any of this. Granted, the kids were obviously well taken care of otherwise - they were happy, clothed, well fed, and looked after, but their parents obviously made little to no attempt to teach them anything "academic."
It disturbed me that there were classmates even into high school that had difficulty reading aloud in class. It disturbed me that we still had to practice reading aloud in high school! Reading classes were obligatory through the 8th grade, and oral practice gave so many 13-year-olds such a challenge. I mean... seriously?? And people still wonder why the U.S. ranks at the bottom of industrial countries when it comes to how well educated our children are???
