I have done my share of bashing teacher unions, bum teachers and the rest... but the reality is much of the problem in education is out of control little darlings, and the huge difficulty in maintaining discipline when kids act out.
I don't think we need to return to the days of the hickory switch.... (In Grant's memoirs he notes that every day kids brought knives to school, and the had use them to bring in the hickory switches that the teachers used for disciplline, five per kid) but there needs to be something to deal with situations like this. It required five adults plus an officer from the district to deal with this first grader. who wound up in handcuffs and sent to a mental institution.
