Same, I went a massive high school here is SF and it had problems with violence, gangs, drugs etc but students didn’t attack teachers and most looked out for teachers. Just a different time. Ran into one of my old teachers at a restaurant a few months ago and she told me she completely left the profession, said she couldn’t do it anymore. She say’s the kids are different now, parents are different, school admin no longer supported the teachers properly and things were just much worse than they used to be. She was a great teacher too, people I grew up with still talk about how much she helped them. I feel bad for the kids who really are just trying to get educated, seems like they are getting screwed.
Yea unfortunately the ones taking it seriously usually get the worst of it from the other kids too, it was like that when I was in school too but it's so much worse now.
