50 shell-shocked teachers, staff flee chaotic Florida school district

Violent and disrespectful classroom behavior has led to a staggering 50 teachers and bus drivers to quit a Florida school district in the last two years.

Brevard County School District, the state’s 10th-largest, held a heated meeting Thursday that offered an unvarnished and often disturbing glimpse into the state of its classrooms.

“On an everyday basis I am deflecting being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said as her voice choked with emotion. “I’ve had my hair pulled, and pulled down to the ground. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions. It’s on an everyday basis right now.”

Kelderhouse said staffers often commiserate in the morning to muster the courage to face the day — and that frightened kids are grappling with the same fears.

“I have students who are afraid every day in the classroom,” she said. “It’s just not fair to them. That’s what hurts my heart the most.”

The head of the district’s beleaguered teachers union, Anthony Collucci, recounted recent incidents reported by staffers to school administrators.

Comes down to one thing:

Are schools warehouse for derelicts or are they institutions for learning?

If they’re warehouse then get rid of teachers, automate the lesson plans and let the little sh*ts do what they want.

If they’re for learning, expel all the trouble makers and teach the kids that want to be taught.

Let the cops and the street deal with all the kids kicked out.

Well at least they were able to flee, in California the students would just beat them senseless or kill them.

Teacher recruiting bonuses for former drill instructors/sergeants.

I understand your pint but that does nothing. Those former drill sergeants/instructors do anything to the kids they’re screwed and everyone involved is sued.

All of this goes back to what Sen Moynihan predicted decades ago and it’s only being worse.

A lot of states have gotten rid those facilities due to the cost of running them and not being able to retain employees.

Unless a juvenile commits a felony, they’re going home to their parents or guardians.

Put four armed National Guard, one being an NCO, in every room, gym, teachers lounge, central office, outside areas where students gather. Bus loading areas, parking lots. And any other dang place that needs it. And give the Guard permission to deal with what ever situation erupts in what ever manner they see fit.

Proper (disgusting) terminology these days seems to be “baby daddy”.

It must be those violent white kids from those Christian homes. They need to be dealt with.

Give me a squad of young marines who have been in combat in Afghanistan and I would have order in the school within hours.

Liberals fear ORDER. It takes away their power.

A pewter Warhammer figurine would solve the problems?

Okay.

Hasn’t this experiment into govt mandated education been shown to be a huge failure for some demographics yet?

My fear is that the practices are inconsistent when I hear about the disparities.”

OK. So the feral negroes are acting feral, and this turd doesn't have the guts to give them the smackdown they richly deserve.

Or is it feral hispanics?

Discipline was removed from the classroom.

Disciplining kids at home can land parents in jail.

What did the Dr. Spockians’ expect?

Oh, that’s right. Zero comprehension of actual human behavior. Standard utopian BS.

That used to be standard policy. Some kids are a danger to teachers and other students these days. That policy has been abandoned because it makes black kids and their parents look bad and feel discriminated against.

It's a crock of bullshit brought to us by the anti-America left.

That’s how the Parkland shooter escaped any discipline before he did his final evil deed. Don’t discipline anyone and if someone is mentally ill and violent, just let them stay in school without any intervention. Then when a disaster happens, say that school security is not important but we need to ban all guns.
