How I Joined Teach for America—and Got Sued for $20 Million

22. The fact that josh sent his problems to other teachers who *were* able to control them,

& when he could no longer do that, by his own admission, his classes got out of control, tells me that either josh didn't have enough training to know how to control a class, or josh was not competent. Homelives are irrelevant to this basic fact. If you're going to blame kids' homelives for your class being out of control on a regular basis, you shouldn't be in the classroom, because there's nothing you can do about their homelives.

No, they don't do it all the time. You may find it hard to believe, but districts are short on money. They don't have tons of spare cash to hand out for fake lawsuits (thereby encouraging more fake lawsuits).

Josh's coworker says he saw josh holding a kid against the wall. josh acknowledged the guy was a coworker and didn't dispute the fact. ergo, it happened and josh is shading the truth in his story.
