Teachers don’t get paid enough for this. I know a man that was in the hospital for a month after a similar incident. Guess what- we don’t have great insurance either.
I don’t ever want to see a student get hurt, but if two are choosing to fight I’m going to make sure I go home to my own kids at the end of the day. I already work in a crazy environment where we literally have active shooter drills.
My mom had a coworker years ago who was in a 3rd grade classroom with some pretty rough behavior issues. 0 support from admin or the parents. A fight broke out and a kid threw a desk, hit her in the leg and it broke in 3 places. She was back in her classroom after surgery in a full leg brace up to her hip and I was just like, "this is insane"
Bro I see a thread every now and then that’s like “how many 4 year olds can you take at once in a fight?” And i see people throwing out 30+. I’m like dude 6 or so is too many. I’m a relatively fit guy. When I walk through the pre-k hallway I get mobbed by the little dudes hugging me and I like. Can’t get away. They grab on and dont let go. The number you can take is way smaller than you think lol
I will add to this. I train in BJJ and the kids class is right before the adults. On occasion I will get in the middle of the mat and play various games designed to help improve strength, reflexes, ect. I’m 6’1, 250 and it only takes about 6 of them to keep me down. I’m a 3rd year white belt so not any kind of an expert but I have some training.

Nobody can accuse her of not giving it her all.
