The violent behavior of elementary school children is beyond belief. I have worked in the elementary schools for 16 years and it's becoming more and more prevalent. Recently I was attacked by an 8 year old child and there was no stopping him.. he was determined. By the time the incident was over, he had hit me at least 20 times .. then hit me repeatedly with an object and head butted me ..all within about 15 mins or less. We have had at least 10 such incidents since September. What the answer is .. I don't know.
I was fortunate enough to meet Sam Blumenfeld about 10 years ago. If the pedagogs had listened to him then, our education system wouldn't be in the sad shape it is today.
I have an answer, explusion.
