When my twin sis taught in East TX, she had a student throw a desk at her. She was scared of the kid. The parents came in and blamed her. She only wanted the classroom to be quiet so she could teach and this upstart didn't want to listen. She told him to go down to the principle's office. On his way out, he thew the desk at her. My sis had to stand on a platform to see above the podium to teach. The bully was on the football team...go figure. I am glad she is out of teaching...
