You are fortunate not to have had the sort of class disruption where nothing gets taught because of the behaviour of the odd one or two.
What do you do? What is the solution? The teacher cannot spend time one to one with the one problem and neglect the other 20 odd children in the class.

People where excluded from the school I went to, particularly at primary school. Funnily enough the teachers were more of a problem there. One got done for assaulting a student, she actually grabbed him by the throat, another male one got done for sexually molesting several of the students.
The situations in schools aren't all one sided. Badly behaved students usually act that way because the teacher has at some point made them feel either incapable or has humiliated them in some way, then the student retaliates by acting abusive towards the teacher to humilate them instead.
You could say their deviant behaviour is a way of them claiming back some dignity. Usually the students aren't bothered by it if they're hard working students, if anything it teaches them how to stay focused in difficult situations.
The only problem I do think is serious in schools is bullying, and often it isn't tackled properly, but that generally isn't because a child is just born bad either, its often an attention/power thing due to some underlying problems at home.
Maybe I just have a very observant nature due to being in these different experiences and I have a very analytical mind which often I cant control. I have to think deeply into possibilities about everything, and then of course with having studied psychology and sociology it always has me looking at angles as to why people do things, not just because they are bad.
I also was bullied by a girl who was just slow in class and had little support. I resolved the bullying by offering to go to her house and help her with her spelling, we wouldve been between 8 and 11 during the worst bits. We're still friends today. Most of the time it just takes a little sympathy and some understanding to help someone understand themselves that they do not need to behave in such a way. Labelling them criminals doesn't help matters, thats when they start to believe thats all they are.
