More comment dialog...

To the student of the teacher who helped you with your subject while the fight happened, there were other teachers standing in their doorways, also, the violence and swearing should have caused kids to respond and call teachers out to help, but they tend to just watch anymore as well....

As far as "attacking" teachers... It is a fact that some teachers are not just allowing liability, they are causing it. They are the minority, but their reputation is what is damaging teachers' reputations here. They have been allowed to do this for years by the administration and therefore I hold the administration primarily responsible. I believe that most of those teachers are simply not aware that their actions are not acceptable in schools because they have never been taught otherwise.... that again is the fault of the administration.

I will just say that there are some teachers who need to be called to a higher level of professionalism, and that starts with the rules being laid out and enforced at every level because apparently altruistic professionalism is not present very much any more... it seems that it is pretty much every person for themselves unless there is a negative consequence...

This is just awful to hear. I know two years ago my nephew left Sandridge to come to the high school. He was there not even a week when two students got into a fight. A teacher tried to break it up and one started attacking the teacher. My nephew went to help the teacher! No body else would help the teacher. I was very proud of him. Also you can tell that he was raised in a home that taught him to respect his teachers!
That is the problem with alot of these kids now days. Parents not involved enough and the teachers are let holding the blame!
