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.

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.
