FULL TITLE: 'I have been hit, kicked and restrained from behind - by FIRST-GRADERS': At least 45 Pennsylvania teachers resign in just three months due to student violence and those that remain are 'begging' for help from school board

Dozens of teachers have quit their jobs in Pennsylvania's capital city amid a wave of violence from students as early as the first grade, it has emerged.

The Harrisburg Education Association (HEA) said that at least 45 teachers resigned between July and October, and more have followed since. Those who remain are now demanding more help from administrators.

'I have been kicked, punched, hit, scratched. I've had a student physically restraining me in front of my other students,' first-grade teacher Amanda Shaeffer told board members, according to Penn Live.

Direct result of the Obama administration preventing schools from expelling students.

Now they just keep them in school where they can create chaos and threaten teachers. Not fair to the kids actually there to learn. Certainly not fair to the teachers.

But it’s ‘racist’ to suggest otherwise.

1st grader restraining a teacher?.........LOL!

Article sounds like a desperate plea for a salary increase.........After all, pay raises cure all classroom complaints by teachers.

In a sane world the teacher could use corporal punishment.
Failing that the miscreants could be expelled.
But neither option is available to those teachers.

“let me guess........”

The swamp is draining. 45 teachers up and quit, the teachers have had it. Now parents might make their little brats behave.

NAW!

What Negan said in the Walking Dead was correct. You gotta show these little a**holes at the young age the right way so they dont grow up to be bigger a**holes”.

That’s like asking if the sun will rise tomorrow. Future BLM Knee-gros on Soros payroll...

Just curious, isn't that the Amish section of Pennsylvania? You know, near Lancaster and all that. I thought I saw it on a Hallmark movie once.

Then again, I could be mistaken. /s

If I were a teacher, and a little snot hit me in any way, they’d be headed face-first out the nearest window.

I remember first grade almost 40 years ago, we had one little jerk whom the teacher couldn’t control. He’d jump on desks and peed in the trashcan. A real sweetheart. THAT was considered shocking and unacceptable back then.

I would venture a guess that over 75% or more of the public skrool students in Harrisburg are Black. That’s a Conservative guess.

Nothing new here..., just far more prevalent! I remember my oldest Daughter's best friend graduating with an Elementary Ed speciality at the same time my Daughter became a biologist. The friend was extremely mild-mannered and meek... She was hired as a 3rd grade teacher in an "At-Risk" school... 3 months into her new career, a very disruptive young female student declared "My Daddy gotta gun and Ima agonna kill you!" Soon after, she decided that she needed a new career path!!! This was in 1974!!! God knows what teachers endure today!
