| Subject: At least 45 useless Pennsylvania teachers quit citing violence, ‘unprecedented misbehavior’ Tue Nov 21, 2017 11:53 pm | |
| City teachers pleaded with district administrators Monday to help support them as they deal with what they are calling unprecedented misbehavior among children in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania schools, some of which is resulting in physical violence against teachers.
The Harrisburg Education Association says the behavioral issues have prompted the resignations of at least 45 teachers between July and October, according to WPMT. Further resignations have since occurred, according to Jody Barksdale, the association's president.
Some of the worst behavior has come from some of the district's youngest students, Barksdale said.
"Teachers and students are being hit, kicked, slapped, scratched, cussed at.... and observing other students flip over tables, desks and chairs. Teachers have had to take the rest of their class into the hallway to protect them during these outbursts," Barksdale told The Patriot News.
Amanda Sheaffer, a first-grade teacher in the district for four years, described the bad behavior she has experienced personally.
