A friend of mine who is a teacher JUST told me about how he went through this exact same scenario last week. He wrote the kid up because he was disturbing the class and his mom came up to the school yelling and clowning at him - instead of asking her son why was he acting up in the class. Priorities
Honestly, I would support an extended school day IF it meant bringing back recess (with a morning and afternoon break), smaller classes (so the teacher could teach in a more intimate learning environment), and effective discipline methods were re-introduced into the school system.
