Georgia Teacher arrested for threatening to kill middle school student who questioned his Israeli flag

[Stuart G]

9. I don't know how to say this nicely, and a decent way........but I taught in the public schools for close to

30 years. And you see everything that you can imagine. (Yes, everything) I was attacked by students 3 times.
What you hear about teaching students is probably true. We have thousands and upon thousands of teachers, and
millions of all kinds of students.

(All kinds of teachers in the U.S.A...., smart, stupid, trusting, not trusting, new, old, mean, kind, totally ignorant, totally
brilliant, etc. etc. etc.) and all kinds of students in the U.S.A. also..

In close to 30 years of teaching high school students in different parts of one of the largest cities in the U.S.A. (Chicago),
I saw it all. You cannot imagine what I observed over 28 years in 3 different high schools. (in different parts of the city)
I also saw every kind of student you can imagine, from the illiterate ones, to the brilliant ones, and all in between. I taught
gifted students and not gifted students. (so called brilliant students and also illiterate students at the 3 schools.)

A good friend from college got me a transfer from an almost illiterate high school to a high school that was filled with
bright and brilliant students. It is an almost unbelievable experience. Some out there will think I am making this up. but
I am not. I have the lesson plans stored somewhere in my apartment.............(I save everything...much too much) ......
to prove all this.....and .........Most Important: ....There are people that I taught in Chicago...that can prove I was their teacher.
(if you can find them.)

I was trained to be a high school teacher at the University of Illinois in Champaign Illinois. My education was very good,
but it did not prepare me to deal with the kinds of problems that I dealt with.- like the violence, terror, non literate, angry,
abused students...and so on. What I learned in teaching in the 3 high schools was way beyond my imagination. (and yours
too). What I thought the experience would be, and what it was/and became was as far from my original thinking as is
the earth to the moon...and further.....
