- 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.

- Despite these changes, critics argue the bill lacks substance and call for stronger collective action by teachers’ groups on student behavior issues.
