Every teacher's nightmare, part III: Student Assault

Ms. C posts a picture of the bruise a student gave her.

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson: Black and Blue

NYC Educator is spot on on this one: harangue the police until they do something about it. Yeah, it'd suck to hang a criminal record on a kid, but this one deserves it.

This is happening all too frequently. What would happen to a young person (student) if they assaulted a store clerk, a fireman, the principal, or a policeman? What happened to equal rights under the law? Assault is a crime. Prosecution of the person committing the crime should be the same. There are laws that protect students from assault by teachers, rightfully so, but that same law is supposed to guarantee the same protection for teachers assaulted by students. Where are the teachers' unions when it comes to unsafe environment(s) for teachers?
