> Teachers get beat up and assaulted all the time in school. <

Thank you for mentioning that. I was an urban school teacher for decades. Many of my fellow teachers were assaulted. And a few were hurt so bad that they were forced into an early retirement.

I myself was hit numerous times. One time I was breaking up a fight - a small kid was being bullied - and I got hit so hard that I had to go to the hospital.

But few people care to consider that. We get summers off. So we’re garbage. It doesn’t matter if we’re up until 11PM grading papers during the school year. And it doesn’t matter if we get hurt trying to defend the defenseless.

And you may well have spent more time in hospital than the kid who hit you was suspended. Very unlikely that the kid was charged with an actual crime. Many school districts actively discourage teachers from pressing charges.

More reasons to add to the cornucopia of reasons why we home schooled and are strongly in favor of a complete gutting of the public school system. NO department of education. School choice, Real government support of home schooling efforts, rather than harassment and opposition.

None of which is going to happen.
