Reply to comment by CLS4L in Parents, students take issue with handling of violence at Medford High School: Students walked out of class on Wednesday to protest what they described as an unsafe learning environment. by TouchDownBurrito
If a bully is committing violence it is absolutely in the job description for adult staff to stop it.

I got suspended for a week for stopping a fight by hugging the kid that was stomping on a near unconscious kid, so that was the end of my teaching career.

Given your history of shit takes on just about every topic, we can all be glad you're not teaching. :)

Yeah teaching to the test sucked and I felt like I was doing the youth a disservice… and my feelings were apparently correct!
Plus I couldn’t fathom demanding to teach through a screen and pretending I was on the right side of history.

Zero-tolerance policies often tie the hands of teachers/adults from even touching students on the shoulder to pull them away from a fight.
Even more reason why we should hire armed teachers who are trained police officers and thus exempt from these zero-tolerance policies.

Teachers cannot do this. They are not the instrument deemed appropriate to legally deal with crime. Police are needed. Arrest and expel the violent kids. Put them in jail or reform school or whatever. It's fair, and it will really improve the school in every way.

Tell me you’ve never been a teacher without telling me you’ve never been a teacher.

I don't know why you want to see more kids shot to death in school.

There would be less kids shot in schools, with increased police presence.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary?
