All bark, very little bite

Texas legislators introduced House Bill 6, known as the Teacher's Bill of Rights, to reform school discipline policies in 2025.
The bill responds to rising disruptive student behavior reported by teachers who left the profession due to poor behavior and low pay.
HB 6 expands disciplinary options, including longer in-school suspensions, capped out-of-school suspensions, virtual alternative education, and mandates documentation of behavior.
The bill allows out-of-school suspensions up to three days for repeated or serious disruptions, and requires threat assessment teams with disability expertise.
Despite these changes, critics argue the bill lacks substance and call for stronger collective action by teachers’ groups on student behavior issues.
