On the one hand, I'm tempted to make some flip comment that references either
Escape from New York or Turning West Philly High into Condos, but it's really
not funny -- somewhere in that building are students who want to get an
education. This is insane.

I would personally blame the parents on this. Yes, it is everyone's duty to
make sure violence is handled with caution and eliminated. However,
upbringing, the teachers behavior, and the childs' behavior are ALL to
blame. There are many steps in controlling these types of situations.

If I were to return to teaching, I would choose an Indian reservation.
