It is my prediction that with the full weight of Common Core, public school employees- called “teachers” are not going to feel comfortable in their own communities.

I don’t think secret service protection comes with the job, but I predict that they are going to want that.

Teachers being targets is one of the reasons I am against Common Core.

I think we are going to see more of these stories. It is not good for “education”.

I am glad I homeschool.

You're correct. Some of these kids up to 10 years old have parents in their 20s. A lot of that group from challenged neighborhoods haven't grown out of the thug stage themselves.

I'm not continuing my Adventures in Inner City Substituting this year. I was pushing my luck. I've said (privately) that a problem could easily occur parent-on-teacher or teacher-gone-crazy. JMHO
