Students in a Florida school district have gone wild, driving more than 50 school teachers and bus drivers to leave the school district over the span of two years.
One school teacher in the Brevard County School District, the 10th largest in the state, said that well-behaved students and teachers are frightened every morning to go to the school.“On an everyday basis, I am deflecting being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit. I’ve had my hair pulled and pulled down to the ground. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions. It’s on an everyday basis right now. ... I have students who are afraid every day in the classroom.
Staffers additionally complained that the COVID-19 pandemic had made the mistreatment even worse, but that the behavioral problems began before the pandemic. Aside from the violence and illegal behavior, students were also addicted to using their cellphones in classrooms, teachers testified. Students would check their phones hundreds of times a day, keep earbuds in their ears during a lecture, and disrespect teachers by responding to a text message before answering questions when called on, the teachers detailed.
