Oh, you know................this has been an ongoing problem. You can't touch the kids so that you don't get a lawsuit but you have to break it up.

Many black kids have never become fully socialized into society and have basically become feral. .

Record 209,800 Teachers Physically Attacked by Students During 2011-12
June 10, 2014 -- A record 209,800 U.S. teachers reported being physically attacked by their students during the 2011-2012 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). (See NCES survey.pdf)

That’s more than the entire population of Salt Lake City, Utah. An average of 1,175 teachers were physically assaulted each day of the school year, according to data released from NCES' Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). The vast majority of teachers who reported physical attacks by students taught in public school: 197,400 public school teachers said they had been physically assaulted, compared to 12,400 private school teachers. A higher percentage of public school teachers also reported being threatened with injury (10 vs. 3 percent). Ten percent of elementary teachers and 9 percent of secondary teachers reported being threatened by a student from their school in 2011–12.

More than three times the number of actual attacks occurred in elementary schools, where 8.2 percent of elementary school teachers (160,700) reported physical altercations. In contrast, only 2.6 percent of secondary school teachers (49,100) reported attacks by their students. Kindergarten teachers were not included in the survey. More women than men reported attacks by students, During the 2011-2012 school year, 177,300 female teachers were assaulted, compared to 32,500 male teachers.

A teacher’s chances of being threatened with bodily harm or attacked also varied state by state. “During the 2011–12 school year, the percentage of public school teachers who reported being threatened with injury during the previous 12 months ranged from 5 percent in Oregon to 18 percent in Louisiana.” the survey noted. “The percentage who reported being physically attacked ranged from 3 percent in Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oregon, and Tennessee to 11 percent in Wisconsin.” The record high of 5.4 percent of teachers who reported physical attacks by students was up from 4 percent during the 2007-2008 school year.

SASS is “a set of related questionnaires that collect descriptive data on the context of public and private elementary and secondary education,” according to the Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2013, a joint report by the NCES and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) which published the recent statistics. In 2011–12 SASS collected the responses of about 51,100 public school teachers and 7,100 private school teachers from across the U.S. to a questionnaire which asked teachers: “Has a student from this school ever physically attacked you?” The survey defined a physical attack as “an actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against his or her will, or the intentional causing of bodily harm to an individual.”
