Unless the adults know exactly where those boundaries are and how to enforce them, things will go to poo poo. Quickly.
I've found that this generation of parents is more likely to see the teacher as an incompetent fuckwad and try to undermine their attempts at discipline, than to work with them to better their child.

"Yes, I understand he hasn't turned in any work these last two months... but when he gets home he starts playing his Xbox One Minecraft and says he has no homework, so maybe you need to do a better job of making sure he remembers there's homework."

This makes things harder to keep locked down because it imbues the little shits with an air of invulnerability and entitlement.

Also, the newest hip thing is Restorative Justice for students... which I can understand to be a powerful thing for high schoolers, but good luck getting 8th graders to be self reflective or empathetic.

poo poo English teachers telling more than one person in here that reading shouldn't be fun, jfc I know the screening/hiring/interviewing process isn't perfect but these people must lie really well to get their jobs.
This is the part where everyone's reminded about that whole business where teachers were concerned kids were voraciously reading the first 2-3 Harry Potter books in the early 00s.

"Yeah they're reading... but why do they have to read THAT" kind of talk.
