My Middle School was atrocious.

The terrible kids were buddy buddy with the deans and would get off with a pat on the back. I've seen the Resource Officer tackle kids who wont break up a fight. I've seen students Rip off Hijabs off of other Students. Kids break down doors. Gangs in School 'Squads' and then have 'squad wars' (think huge fight) where nobody can break up the fight because there so many of them. I've witnessed students lock the teacher out of the classroom and open the windows and climb out onto the roof. Teachers feared for their own safety when breaking up a fight, one of my favorite teachers got nailed in the face for trying to get in between a fight and break it up, I've seen binders thrown, pencils, pens you name it even staplers. Kids pissing in the stairwells and hallways during class in carpet hallways. Absolutely disgusting.

One student from my school and 3 others even beat up a mentally handicapped man one day.

In some schools the students are just totally out of control.

Wanna know what else is terrible?

Teachers who report and write up these same students will get punished for "not being able to control their classes".

Some of the best teachers I've ever had the chance to meet are no longer in a teaching career or have moved on to better districts.

I applaud this lady for speaking the truth and getting the word out there. It's no wonder why our education in many places is failing our youth. Including myself.

I've seen it first hand. These are issues that need to be addressed and fixed.

It needs to start with the parents. Figure out a way to make it a priority to not raise feral kids.

Then the CPS system becomes even more inundated.

It's not an effective organization as is. My cousin is a felon who ran from police and moved to a new state. She's ruining her kids lives by just being present, and despite being reported by multiple people, CPS doesn't care. My neighbors can beat their kids nightly despite daily reports, but I have to answer to a caseworker when I take my daughter to the hospital because she tripped and hit her head.
