You know what this rather sounds to me? Schools have given up disciplining the kids which shall be the future of their countries. It really sounds like giving up. Rewarding them and making things easier in the exams for them - that's a thing that I know -, adapting to them, it sounds like nothing more than "okay, we give up getting them to do anything because they fucking bomb and destroy us for attempting that".
And giving up means there actually are tensions in society with these kids, but society itself and all other entities which could help it don't do anything. And that's also due to having given up, there's no public funding for it.
I get upon this idea because I heard it a few times during a while how kids got pulled back onto the high road in the GDR if they really strayed from it. It has to do with something that is called "Jugendwerkhof" or so, but I really don't know what this term exactly means in practice. But the general idea behind it I recognize from what is told about it: If kids go haywire, brawl, binge-drink, take harder drugs, steal, turn into thugs, destroy things, terrorize their surroundings - you need a conecept how to get these kids back onto that path which you want as a society. If you haven't, and if you don't make your attempts that they can't avoid to deal with, then they won't be any better as adults. You won't ever get to get it out of them again. And this is just not based upon adapting to their desires, but to put them in an environment with solid and consequent rules, where they get a solid feeling about what they can do and what not, and as long as they play by these rules they can acquire their pound of flesh.
This would need to be done these days too, but public households are broke everywhere and private investors would only turn this into a profit business and not into a moral business. The schools can't fix this behavior either because first they're dependent on public funding too, and second, it's a task in that way which they can't perform. It's too much for their spectrum of competences. The only kind of schools which maybe could do this are boarding schools as the students live there too and it's their daily surroundings.
