I just hope to god I don't end up teaching in some horrible inner city school in Dallas in the future.
      What makes you think this is an inner city school?

        They must have had a teacher like my 1st grade teacher.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

            Yeah, while inner city schools certainly have their problems with violence, it seems like teacher targeted or general mass mayhem is much more likely to be seen in the middle class schools.

            If that's the only variable considered, I'd probably choose the inner city potential cross fire violence over a middle class potential directed attack, as I would inevitably flunk the wrong kid.

              middle class kids can be a serious pain in the ass. A lot of them are spoiled and disrespectfull. A lot of teachers prefer inner city schools.

                Better spoiled and disrespectful than violent, disrespectful, and stupid. While in the suburb I live in has zero known incidents of violence against teachers in the past 10 years, some Dallas ISD schools (especially south Dallas) have an average of 10 or more violent attacks against teachers each year.

                  You don't really know what you are talking about. Middle class kids are just as violent as inner city kids. I was never afraid of my students when I taught in an inner city school. No teachers were ever attacked at the school I taught at. I don't think one ever was.

                    [q]WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) — A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday.

                    The plot involving as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.

                    School officials alerted police Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school. Tanner said the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs and tape and then stab her with the knife.

                    “We did not hear anybody say they intended to kill her, but could they have accidentally killed her? Absolutely,” Tanner said. “We feel like if they weren’t interrupted, there would have been an attempt. Would they have been successful? We don’t know.”
                    Now we'll never know!

                      Crazy.

                      I'd like to know what was really going on in that classroom.

                        That's because you were too occupied smoking crack in the teacher's lounge.

                          I don't do South Dallas. Actually, I don't cross south of LBJ on the north too very much.

                            Well if you are serious about teaching remember to treat them with respect and you will get respect in return generally. At least you won't get beat up or anything. Teachers are safer at work than most people. They are certainly safer at work than they are in the general public. I don't know who told you otherwise, but they're wrong.

                              Out of curiosity, which inner city did you work in? When I think about it, South Dallas isn't really "inner city" just low income suburbs with gang problems. It still has a terrible reputation and after looking at the statics (occurrence of violent attacks and graduation rates) it's really not somewhere I would want to work.

                                Port Hueneme High in Port Hueneme, CA. They have gangs and all that too, but for some reason they don't bother the teachers. Like I said treat them with respect and there wont be a problem. I'm not saying to let them run the show or anything. That's not treating them with respect.

                                That's ok too, if you want to teach more successfull students also, but I'm just telling you that they can be little *******s and so can their parents. That's why a lot of teachers prefer the low income schools.
