My daughter, has three degrees, and was a 4 time Big Ten Scholar Athlete, playing basketball at Ohio State. She is now teaching at a HS in Columbus. She picked the school because she wanted to make a difference.

Last year she was punched in the face by a student, and the administration did nothing. Not only that, there were several riots in the hallways. Security at her HS is virtually nill.

This is her last year in the teaching profession.

Public schools need to take a hard line on the discipline problem, or they will continue to lose good teachers.

Good Lord.

I went to Wakins out in Pataskala and we NEVER had anything like this. Mainly because the teachers wouldnt allow anything to get remotely close to this type of situation. I know Mifflin is a bit different is just about every way imaginable.

Not to blame your daughter at all. She was trying to fix the situation and instead wasnt getting any support from upstairs.

I think her life will be greatly simplified when she gets out of there....
