Teaching used to be a lot simpler. (I won't say better but definitely simpler.) Woody would have been immediately snatched up and frog-marched to the principal's office for three hard licks from his paddle and then been made to apologize to the little girl. Generally speaking, "that kid" met the "board of education" in the principal's office often enough that he/she either learned to behave themselves or they left school. BTW--in Mississippi, there wasn't a compulsory education law until AFTER I graduated high school in '77, so nobody forced you to go to school other than your parents. :^|

Without a good one, you struggle with even the best raised children.
