The 56-year-old came home bruised, bandaged and outraged after a 17-year-old girl punched her in the face and jabbed a pencil at her hand.Boy, I just hope that 17yr old girls self-esteem is still in tact./sarcasm
Isn't that the all important factor in todays public schooling?

Detentions, suspensions, expulsions - pardon me, but in any other setting, the little b*st*rds would be arrested, and rightfully so. Why aren't they being taken out in cuffs?

Everyone, everywhere should be concerned about the rising tide of violence in America, and come to the realization that it's not going to be quelled by more laws and more metal detectors.

Small world! If my parents hadn't moved from the East Bay, that's where I would have gone to high school.

After years of outcome based education and no moral absolutes being taught...the ends justify the means...truth is subjective etc. etc...they whine and complain that the kids are out of control. I am sorry but they are reaping what they have sown. To expect different behavior after being indoctinated into this liberal crap..is just plain insanity. Just what did they expect?
To: SmithL
Researchers say documenting the problem is the main obstacle to preventing violence against teachers.Spoken like true bureaucrats.

Chalk one up to "only in California". The little buggers would be handcuffed and arrested on the spot where I live. And in some cases, depending on the teacher, would probably would need medical treatment before booking. I don't know of any teacher around here that would put up with that kind of abuse from a socalled student.

Why don't the teachers file criminal charges against the student? Make a police report and let the law take it from there. Of course the same 'so what' attitude the teachers have cultivated in the schools pervades the legal system too. Oh well. Haven't the teachers supported ever hare-brained liberal agenda for donkeys' years??? THEY created the monster!

According to a 2004 report, an estimated 90,000 violent crimes were committed against teachers on campuses nationwide from 1998 to 2002. This is not nearly as abhorrent as a school displaying the Ten Commandments in plain view.

For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would take a job in the public education field.
To: SmithL
possible expulsion Not definite? What about possible (or even pending) incarceration?

Nope, it will be a pencil. Next time it won't be the hand that the pencil is used on.
