I don't care how frustrated I am with my students, the thought of actually slapping them would never happen. Now I will admit that when I taught high school sped and I was cussed out everyday, OMG I wanted to beat the shit out of some of those kids, but of course I never did. I'm not going to risk my job, my safety or my certificate. Instead I ended up quitting.

Violence is never the answer, if the teacher was in fact trying to "protect" another student, there was definately a better way to handle the situation.

Arizona also doesn't require teachers to be certified to teach in a charter school.

Now, someone made a comment that that is why they don't like charter schools (because the teacher isn't certified), I'm sorry just because you're certified (i.e. you can pass college courses and pass a state test and pay the state money to certify you) doesn't mean you are a GOOD TEACHER! I've worked with plenty of CERTIFIED teachers that were just horrible teachers! Anyone can pass undergraduate classes and a test.
