Of course. However, the staff(at least at my school) seemed pretty selective as to whom they'd suspend during fights in some situations. Secondly, I've seen many a teacher get cursed out in arguments THEY provoked. If you're a grown ass person provoking a heated argument with a fukking teenager, you have no business being one. Hell yeah I went to a shytty school too, they're still using the same building from the fukking 1800's while all the districts around us have brand new schools and shyt(along w/ better academics and athletic programs to boot).
Its easy to say that but put yourself in a position where you got the same idiots trying you every day for 200 days. Just getting flat out disrespected daily and making it very difficult to do their job. You send the kids out the classroom and they get sent right back because nobody else wants to deal with them. The parents dont give a shyt about them so there is no point in contacting them. Ive seen great teachers get ran off due to the idiots at my school (and i went to an ok school) only to see that same teacher get a job in a great school district in the white parts of town.
