50 shell-shocked teachers, staff flee chaotic Florida school district
December 9, 2022
Violent and disrespectful classroom behavior has led to a staggering 50 teachers and bus drivers to quit a Florida school district in the last two years.
Brevard County School District, the state’s 10th-largest, held a heated meeting Thursday that offered an unvarnished and often disturbing glimpse into the state of its classrooms.
“On an everyday basis I am deflecting being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said as her voice choked with emotion. “I’ve had my hair pulled, and pulled down to the ground. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions. It’s on an everyday basis right now.”
Kelderhouse said staffers often commiserate in the morning to muster the courage to face the day — and that frightened kids are grappling with the same fears.
“I have students who are afraid every day in the classroom,” she said. “It’s just not fair to them. That’s what hurts my heart the most.”
The head of the district’s beleaguered teachers union, Anthony Collucci, recounted recent incidents reported by staffers to school administrators.
One student began masturbating inside a classroom, an act that was recorded by a classmate and posted to a group chat.
Another teacher was hit in the face with a tape dispenser, while a colleague suffered a bite mark the “size of an orange” after a student munched on her arm.
Another educator frequently had to remove all furniture from her class because kids were routinely chucking it around the room or at each other.
vey said classrooms have descended into chaos because kids no longer fear consequences.
“As a result, we are losing teachers en masse,” he said, calling disruptive students “clowns” who are impeding the education of their classmates.
Several speakers criticized Ivey at Thursday’s meeting, and highlighted that suspensions are meted out in disproportionately high numbers to black students.
“Our children are not clowns,” said a local NAACP member. “They are not snot-nosed.” He accused Ivey of using “scare tactics” and “bullying” in pushing for disciplinary clampdowns.

Sure. The kids are not clowns. They're feral. Most have never had a father figure, and their mothers are too busy with their own personal lives to raise the kids. "Disciplinary clampdowns" would not happen if every one of these kids had a solid father, or at least a much stronger and stricter mother, in the home. Guaranteed.
But no one is allowed to state the obvious truth anymore.
Behold the fruits of restorative justice. Suspensions are meted out disproportionately because the behaviors are being committed disproportionately. Fucking dummies.
Bingo. "Restorative justice" and related concepts have been the downfall of the school system, and then these kids enter the adult world and hold up liquor stores and mug old ladies. Clown World, USA.
And dont have bail and are let loose by crooked prosecuters that continue the cycle of excellence.
In my day, kids got expelled for back talk. Physical violence against teachers was unheard of. Time to institute "reform schools". The teachers know which ones are the problem. Remove them from the scene and get back to teaching, not babysitting.
In my day, I was the one getting whacks from the teacher!
That same Teacher would be remorseful, now that you are a Great Awakening Spiritual Knight.
Your very kind, thanks. It's not the kind of Titles I get some times. LIO=( Laugh it off)
Exactly. When I was young here in Oklahoma we sent those animals to the military based academy. Like bootcamp. Then fast lane them into the military and boom, not our problem anymore. I have no clue if we still do that or not.
The military is NOT your trash heap! Military leaders are too busy training and maintaining to put up with these asshats. They get thrown out and back on the street and now they are YOUR problem again. Fix the problem up front, don't try to hand it off for someone else to clean up your shit.
Oh they aren't anyone's problem by the time the academy drill Sergents are through with em. Those guys shape those kids up way before they ship to military service. Don't doubt our drill Sergent's work especially the guys back in the 90s. They didn't fuck around. If you think they can't handle a preteen goon your dead wrong. Lol they have mind games that will turn their brain to spaghetti then rebuild it into a well oiled machine.
Liberals raise animals every time.
They need classroom cameras or hidden one-way mirrors so these parents can see for themselves, and the teachers can document that they did see.
The one silver lining of the plandemic lockdowns, IMO, was how much parents suddenly became aware of in regards to the school environment of their children.
My kids school district in has school where they send the problematic kids Most of them actually do much better at the smaller school with smaller classrooms.
Yet every single commercial shows us in tact, loving black families. No whites allowed.
The local NAACP. Mystery solved.
Teacher bes racis. Kids dindonuffin.
Young man your grimmir & spillin is atrocious.
I funna axe you nice to spel an talk difrent
Dindu nuffin! This is nothing new. I went to a >50% black high school in the 80s outside of Washington DC. While cell phones didn't exist, bad black behavior did. I saw a little elderly teacher thrown into a glass showcase. Fights all the time. Been assaulted. Had guns and knives pulled on me. Would regularly see the blacks butt naked running down a hall or convulsing in the bathroom from smoking loveboat. Almost all had no father figure in their lives. The ones that did well in school were tormented, called Uncle Toms or Urkels. We had a police substation in the school. The school had to play football games on Sat afternoon vs Fri nights due to violence. Remember the Titans /s
We need more ruler swinging nuns like Sister Mary Stigmata (a.k.a. The Penguin) in The Blues Brothers...
In my day we got our ass whooped by a wooden paddle. It’s not the 90s anymore
The administration is always in charge of the consequences. Teachers can’t do anything about an unruly kid.
And the admin refuses to punish the kids.
These kids need heavy duty boot camp style prison schools.
Sounds to me like this school needs to hire a few retired Drill Instructors....They could have the rabble cleaned up very quickly!
Like the "Substitute", Good morning students, my name is Sargent Ruff Seal.
