Cleveland teacher beat up by students
We caused our substitute teachers some grief back in the day (and we still feel guilty about it), but it usually just involved smartass comments and spitball throwing. But the kids at the Robert K. Fulton Public School in Cleveland are hard core:
Witnesses tell Fox 8 News, the trouble started when [substitute teacher Laura] Fritz attempted to refer several students to the principal’s office for misbehavior.
They responded by throwing objects at the teacher and soon other students joined in.
“The class became disorderly, unruly and once the injury happened to the teacher, a number of other students began to act out.” said Cleveland Schools Police Chief Lester Fultz.
“They were just throwing stuff, they hit the teacher with the marker, the papers were flying around, everything, it was terrible.” said a student who witnessed the riot.
According to Cleveland Police Lt. Thomas Stacho, 18 students were arrested for the incident, three were charged.
By the way, these were 7th GRADE STUDENTS. Gah! Paging Tom Berenger!
