A 15-year-old student assaults a teacher at Southeast High School.

Most disturbing is this comment over at The Chalkboard:

As a veteran teacher, this community better wake up. Our schools have become a flat out dangerous place. There is so much pressure from the powers that be that students are getting very small punishments for very serious crimes. Acts of violence, theft, drug use, ect. are daily occurances in high schools here. The students that care are having their educations damaged as we cater to kids who have no business in our schools at all. I just don’t understand it. By the way, teaching is my job and I love it, but my child will never step foot on campus of a Guilford County High or Middle School.

It will be interesting to see how, or if, GCS reacts.
