That student, and the student's parents, need to go to jail, immediately. Any student who physically threatens a teacher should be beaten like a dog.

Sadly, it's more typical that the beasts are sent back to class. I find it somewhat amusing that people from other fields come into the classroom and think it's going to be easy.

The teacher's associations should've sued many administrations starting decades ago for dereliction of duty.

Its not that they think it'll be easy. They did assume that there would be BASIC decorum though. For sure the true state of the public school system is an eye opener. One one hand you have a professional eager to teach and on the other a few kids that make sure no teaching or learning will take place sanctioned by the administration.

Are you kidding? The teachers unions are the cause of this problem.

The administrators ARE IN the union, and probably are the administrators of the union.
