When I was in school in the ‘60s, many of the teachers were veterans of WWII and/or Korea. I don’t recall any incidents of students physically attacking teachers.

SAME FOR ME-—I GRADUATED IN 1957 FROM HIGH SCHOOL
MANY VETERANS WERE TEACHING.

My dad - a teacher - sat at a coffee table back in the early 1980s and delivered an impromptu prediction about the public schools that was uncannily accurate. In a nutshell, he said that once all the male WWII and Korean War vets retired, the school systems would be staffed by women and (unmasculine) men, with the most egotistical ones eventually becoming administrators. All public schools would become essentially Federal institutions and school boards would become de-facto NEA/AFT kommissars.

Some years later, one of dad's younger and less than friendly colleagues came up to him and admitted that he had been pretty much on the money. Equally surprising was this younger man's realization that the last few years had convinced him that "none of this" (teaching in the public schools) was making "one damn bit of difference anymore."

I would advise against physically attacking a person who is trained to kill and has used that training before. These teachers need to fight back in self defense. It is the only thing that these animals will listen to.

Actually during this time about 1962 or so, I recall one, student ended up in hospital. My buddy was in the English class. Said the teacher beat him like a drum. Teacher was a Korean vet. Also, the teacher was not admonished.

The school admin was principal and vice principal and deans of boys and girls. A few guidance counselors. Act up in class, end up at the dean of boys. If your visits became a history, expulsion to the “reform school”.

High school was almost 98% Caucasian and considered one of best academic high schools in state. You were there to learn and it was reinforced each day. No leaving campus, only seniors allowed to park in school lot.

Today, not so much.

Me neither. Bring back swats at the principal’s office. And, well, somebody’s got to say it segregation.

Yes, but a lot if not most of these current day stories probably involve female teachers. I would imagine that, back in your day, there were far more male teachers. But with the extreme wokeness that constitutes the current education system, men are "discouraged" from becoming teachers, except for the effeminate, gay ones.
