Most Americans think there’s not enough discipline in public schools today and feel it’s tougher for teachers to maintain control than it was when they were kids.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American Adults believe discipline in public schools is too easy. Only five percent (5%) say it’s too tough, while 19% think the level of discipline imposed in modern public school classrooms is about right.

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of adults say it’s harder for a teacher to maintain discipline in the classroom than it was when they were students.  Just 13% disagree.
