Answer 2

I was not physically beat up,but I was verbally abused.I was told everyday I would never amount to anything,How low my test scores were,etc.I was

bullied by teachers also.

Answer 3

Never. However, as a teacher I have been hit, kicked so hard by a student that I required surgery, spit on until the drool ran down my arms, stabbed with a pencil, pushed down a flight of stairs and cursed at in every name known to man.

Why did this happen? Usually because the student was told "No" you can't do that. Every time we put a student in a hold, it was due to out of control behavior on the part of the student. We used only certified holds, which did not include floor holds. Because of this we were frequently hurt.

We did not touch a student until he or she began to attack one of us or a student or tear apart the room or try to run away. We always came out worse for wear than the kid, but we kept loving them and teaching them anyway. We always tried de-escalation techniques, but some kids need to push the envelope because of unresolved issues from their past. So while they are trying to hurt us, we are trying our best to calm them and keep them from getting hurt.

There are disturbed adults out there that are too rough with kids and that is sad because they take the acting out personally. The acting out and violence isn't about the person they are currently hurting, but about all of the ghosts and pains from the past. Some people just can't separate that out and they shouldn't be working with acting out kids.

I continue working with violent kids and as my skills have gotten better, we have had less and less restraints. Kids learn to express themselves in other ways or take themselves out of the situation to calm themselves. Unfortunately there are some children that have been hurt too deeply and are almost lost to society because of the level of their anger and rage. All I can do is work with them every day and hope something I teach will stick.
