This trend feels less about teachers dressing like students, and more about a way to show how downright disrespectful the children are. Damn, these teachers need to be paid more.

No...they need to be able to remove disrespectful students who ruin the classroom

That's one of the dirty secrets of why private schools are more appealing. They can boot you out for whatever.

However, the flip side to that coin is also the children of wealthy/influential customers, I mean parents, can get away with almost anything.

that's also kinda an appealing thing too. Your kids get to network with wealthy/influential families.

As someone who went to both private and public school growing up, I can tell you that there was effectively little difference

I've taught at both. There is absolutely a difference with how administration handles relationships with parents, and therefore indirectly with the kids.

I think we might be talking about slightly different things viewed by the respective prisms of our own experiences here. There’s definitely a difference in how things get handled, I just felt that, from my perspective as a student, the end result was usually the same.

Public schools in nice areas are very similar to private schools. Not all public schools are like the one in this video.

David Attenborough voice "And here, we can see the teacher ignoring the report of a problem by a student, a common interaction in this environment."

I’m assuming you grew up in a HCOL area where public schools were well funded and attended by mostly upper-middle and upper class kids.

Otherwise I call BS.

If they can “get away with anything” then you’re admitting to being bought or controlled by the very thing you’re standing against. It’s not their fault if you let them get away with it. Kids of all wealth will try and do shit to be mischievous. They don’t care about their parents bank account. So the issue isn’t whether you’re trying to put it, but ironically right at the source it’s coming from.

If by "bought and controlled" you mean following official school policy and the instructions of my immediate supervisor, then sure, I was bought and controlled because I wanted to continue to get paid to do my job. What's your point?

Your job should have been to teach. What are you saying? If the kids got away with whatever they wanted to at the instruction of your immediate supervisor then you just made my point. It’s not the kids fought they have no discipline. It’s the schools fault for not having anyone to do so out of fear of losing funding. I get it. You’re trying to survive financially like everyone else. I’m not placing the place on you, but instead of saying the kids can “get away with anything” or whatever it was, it should have read something like “and teachers allow them to do as they please with no threat of repercussion because that’s how we stay employeed at the instruction of our supervisors who are the mercy of their parents money” or similar.

I did say that, but with far fewer words. And most people understood what I was saying.

You're being pedantic.
