I am an independent observer. And have noticed consistent academic-social problems. At a certain grade/age, a lot of these kids feel that they know enough and don't want to do school work. They want to leave and stay in the restrooms all period is they can get away with it. They want to drop in and visit their friends in other classrooms when classes are in session. They want to socialize like they're in a cafeteria instead of a classroom.

This is not why schools were built.
