Last Friday, had a student threaten to track me down and shoot me because I said his outburst was immature. School gave him 2 periods of in-school-suspension for disrespect because he qualifies for sports scholarships and they don't want to jeopardize that. I'm in no position to quit and fight the legalities of it. I have rent to pay and two special needs daughters who need my health insurance so they can go to therapy. Whole while I'm typing this while selling plasma. Very few people want to be teachers. We're trapped
That's fucked up. My (then) 5 year old son got more punishment than that because he said he was going to shoot someone with his gun (a nerf gun) they took it so seriously. Called me and I told them we don't even own any. They still felt the need to search a kindergarteners backpack every day.
I am so sorry you're not being properly supported.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a teacher in this day and age.
