teacher assaulted by student, and caught on video

[AKA_Monet]

Fellas,

My mother is a retired elementary school principal with a Ph.D. in education. I sent her the video. She said, that when she worked, she had to to take down a little 5 year old who was holding a heavy 3-hole punch/stapler and said she was going knock my mom's "lightbulbs" out... And within less than 3 seconds, my mom did go after her and take her down. Now this girl was rather large for her age and could do some damage to my mom. My mom, said she was going to protect her life and self-preservation. Threats cannot be taken idlely in this day and age, especially if there "probable cause".

@Kevin, I don't think a Columbine incident would happen in an inner city school. That is abnormal for kids in the hood. But these days, things change... It would be a sad day if it did happen and it would say how far we all are behind educating our ALL our children. It would say that NONE of the programs implemented work, that we should be LEGALLY segregated by race, ethnicity and economics and we will have more hatred and violence on our hands.

@Daemon, ultimately it will rest on us--African Americans. We let these kids get out of control--this much. I know it is too much to bear, right now. How, can this be stopped when so many of these kids parents are barely pushing 35 years old? Too many babies are having babies with no man in site and we welcome that wholeheartedly. And a small percentage of those in that situation will succeed to a rapidly declining "middle class" in the suburbs... So what more can we do?
