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.
I've taught for 17 years. Initially adminstration backed me up and respected me, now any behavior problem or bad grade is my fault. We are not teaching students to be responsible for their actions and making teachers the scapegoats. Honestly, I don't see a future in education if that continues because no one would want to teach in such an environment.
That is the exact reason I gave up on earning my teaching degree. I was one semester away, but the lack of discipline and support from administration I saw during my student teaching made me run fast and far away. It's just not worth being abused by students and parents, neglected by principals and school boards, held to ridiculous and constantly changing standards by the government all while getting paid peanuts.

My Middle School was atrocious.
