The fact that a student is yelling at the teacher and using profanity isn't the news? Is this type of student behavior so common it isn't news worthy?

In this case, the student called the teacher a c***t. He also pushed her into the wall. I am sure she was scared given the way the student acted.

When you are being threatened, intimidated and cornered, swinging is something I cannot blame her for especially when you consider her age and size.

First...its an easy case of self defense.
Second...I would of course press charges against the student in criminal court.
Third...If the school district doesn't give her her job back, you of course sue the school district.
Fourth...I would also file a civil lawsuit against the student .

Time teachers fought back.

I'm in Florida and mark my words - there is NO way she is getting her job back. That's not how it works here.

She is supposed to duck, cover, run, whatever, but TAKE it.

She's done.

Now who wants to come down to Florida to teach? (try the local high school in my town where a 300 lb boy body slammed a small female teacher into a desk twice. He is finally in jail but only because he raped a girl in the back of the school bus)

I'm sure she was too, a teacher is only human and can only take so much. When you are being bullied, and pushed, guess your protective instincts take over right or wrong, she was scared.

Students these days, also need to learn respect. If you can push a teacher for whatever reason, what does that say a student will do to a Mother, if they are pissed. The language used by the student, was not appropriate either.
