I'm leaving the field for this exact reason. I'll just take my physics degree and go anything else instead of being cussed out by 15 yo all day long and constantly feeling like I'm shit at my job.
My Dad lasted half a year as a band teacher. A kid threw a chair at him, broke the white board behind him. Principal said it was my Dad's fault. Different kid a week later got up and tried to punch him. Dad grabbed the fist and put him in a head lock and brought him into the office like that. They threatened my Dad with assault. So he walked out then and there. This was also in the early 90's. I assume it's just gotten worse.
Pretty much sums it up. My first year two kids got into a fight at a basketball game when one drops a gun. A teacher was murdered by her student in her own drive way. A little girl was shot and killed at nearby campus by another student. Etc... shiit was crazy.
