From what I read in the article if you “stand up” you’ll be punished. And I have to say comparing a teacher’s job to Terry Woods’ heroic actions is pretty big stretch.
No analogy is ever perfect, but having worked in an inner city school for a year and a half and having done all of my student teaching in one as well, it is not a big of a stretch as you might imagine.
Several times I had to break up fights with students carrying weapons, and I was threatened with assault on two occasions, once with a weapon. We also had several drive by shootings one during school hours.
