in trouble with the law, wearing those ankle monitors...only in 7th grade! and absolutely nothing is done.
A student threw a huge textbook hit a teacher in the head. Nothing done.

Teachers health and safety is on the line, and nothing is done, except to allow this to happen.
Because they want it to. Because all teachers with less than 10 and more years experience

But prison costs will ultimately go up because the students now laugh and joke about
how they are in 'control'.

Frightening, tragic and sad for all parties involved.
