to call the parents during the school day and have them take the unruly one home. After a few times of the parents having to leave their job, tell their boss why they are leaving their job, that it usually took care of the problem child, because the parents had to address the issue, it was interfering with THEIR daily life.

Today this probably couldn't even be implemented. The kids have levels of punishment, kinda like 3 strikes, the parents have rights to appeal.
