Another teacher assaulted
Posted by Jeff Quinton on May 5, 2008Add one more Reginald F. Lewis High School teacher filing assault charges against students.
The teacher alleged that they pushed him. According to the Examiner the teacher might not be too popular.
He also filed a grievance with the teacher’s union because he claims administrators told him not to fail so many students.
He gave F’s to 85 percent of the class.
Earlier a female teacher filed assault charges after a student punched her repeatedly and the episode found its way onto the internet.
One male teacher at Reginald F. Lewis High, who requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation from students, has filed assault charges against two students who pushed him this school year.
Fights have broken out in his classroom, he says, but when he asks for help from the school office through his classroom’s intercom, no one ever comes.
He tries to take cell phones away, and students say, “Touch my sh–, and I’ll f— you up,” he says.
[…]
He says his bosses gave him an unsatisfactory evaluation, and he’ll probably be fired at the end of the school year.
“I wouldn’t believe this if I weren’t in it,” he says. “Students corrode any sense of classroom. It’s an impossible situation, and the administration doesn’t do anything about it.”

Comment by Derek Randel
I feel for that teacher and his safety should come first. Incompetent administrators is one of numerous reasons we’re having problems in school. Teachers being hurt and bullied might sound like something that never happens but it does. In a five year period 1.3 million teachers were victims of non-fatal attacks in school. I have a new book out on students and parents bullying teachers and administrators. It is titled Attacking our Educators. The book looks at why, how, where, and what contributes to this issue. It has over 80 solutions addressing school and teacher safety. Lack of trust for educators is one of the contributing factors along with lack of parenting skills, not holding students accountable for their actions, lack of administrator support and lack of teacher training. www.stoppingschoolviolence.com
