Not my experience at our schools at all. Far from it.

So the teacher should'nt have told anyone? Ten bucks says that if this story came out about the kids, and the teacher's response was, "I didn't tell anyone, I thought I'd just deal with it myself" -- many saying what you have said would be after her with torches and pitchforks. So she really can't win, can she?
Given the limited info in this article, I'm not willing to hang this teacher just yet. She has 15+ years in the school. I won't condemn her for what may have been as little as a minute or two of distraction, for a couple of kids who may be dealing with a sh!tload of adult issues at home, and over a scintillating headline that may very well be exaggerated.
