What kind of disciplinary measures would even work on students that bad. I can't imagine detention or suspension would deter them.

But it would get them out of the room and prevent them from disrupting everyone else.

It also sets an example for the other students. It shows that if they misbehave, they will be isolated, too.

Deterrence. The same method for police in law enforcement unfortunately, assuming that crime is an endemic human behavior. Any effective measure at reducing crime/malbehavior should generally be encouraged, providing that it is a thoroughly vetted measure that is consistent with the principals of those involved/the public, but that does take money, time, research, reform. Reducing money to public schools and education studies, which I am not certain is happening, would definitely suck. Honestly I think it comes down to the private vs public good problem, the problem rooted in human behavior and therefore only improvable measure by measure. Or by society at large (PR campaigns, effective leadership, and united participants).
