When teachers start bitching about hazardous duty pay
CORSICANA, Texas (KWTX/Gray News) – A second educator at a school in Texas was injured during an attack by a student less than a year after the assistant principal lost her eye to a similar attack.
"Schools refuse to take action to protect teachers from violent students" - Here's a thought, refuse to teach the class. Thought 2 - make a police report for assault, even if it violates school policy. Thought 3 - learn how to assault the student back (clean up piddle puddles and think this through.) Yes these kids have only learned how to solve problems with violence and we should teach better, but not at the risk of a teacher being harmed. They understand violence and need to learn the consequences of the error of their ways. Similarly, you dive into the swing of a bat where the speed and torque are less. If nothing else the teachers need to be able to use whatever level of force is required to protect themselves. A friend, high 50's, told a student to sit down and he attempted to punch her. She had practiced karate in her youth and blocked him. She was almost fired for assault. These kids do need help but they must learn unacceptable violent behavior has very negative consequences. Thought 4 - tasers
We can start by stopping the pretense that they can be educated or even should be educated at all in a regular school environment. We need to address the first thing and resolve why these kids are even in school.
Thought 2. This is only done to keep the numbers down and make the school look good. All good until Trayvon Martin emerges. Thought 3. Works for me. "The careful application of terror is an effective management technique."
"5th grade special education class" these kids are freakishly strong and why are they in regular schools? They should have "special" schools and "mental" faculities just for these people. Question ....where teachers DEI?
My retired father is a substitute teacher. Until this school year, he would work in any subject or grade. Last semester he went to one of the area high schools to cover a freshmen science class. It had four gang members from an El Savadorian gang in it (he found out later)...they kept opening some older style vent windows to yell to kids outside and drop trash out the windows. He told them to stop and he closed the windows. The next day they brought more teens and attacked them. He is 74. He fought them off until one of them was able to knock him down. He was cut and bruised by the time they ran off when a school cop showed up. The district threatened to charge him with battery on a minor for self defense. He got an attorney and that threat stopped. He told them he was done as a substitute (he was sub and teacher of the year off and on for a decade). A month later they asked him to come back. He agreed as long as he only works in the Junior High or elementary schools and only two days a week instead of full time like the last ten years. Nothing happened to the kids, HOWEVER, he reports that as of this first week of February, his Texas school district is down close to 40% of illegals thanks to Trump and the fear of deportation causing family self reports! WINNING!
"The hanger caught her in the left eye, pulling it out of its socket." If I lose an eye in the course of working, I'm out the door. That job is not worth my personal safety.
I remember we had a retarded kid in our elementary school. He was generally "nice" and most people got along with him. I knew even as a third grader to keep my distance. The school bullies didn't however and he once shoved one of them into a brick wall so hard that the bully never came back to school again, so he got fucked up bad. For that reason we all kinda liked him and nobody ever fucked with him at all. This was in the early 80s. There was a "special" class but no short buses or anything like that.

When you are attacked, strike back with all you've got. That's just human nature. At least it's mine.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reasoning with savages. Always have a plan to fight or flight even at school.
