Why aren’t teachers allowed to call 911 when they’re getting attacked by a violent student?

Why can't I report it to CPS when a student slaps a child so hard they have red marks on their skin?

My admin didn't even want me to call PARENTS when this happened. She said "kids hit, it's what they do."

Why on earth would you report that to CPS?!

This must not be a teacher or one that doesn't understand when CPS is involved, vs police, vs administration.

But it is someone who know what CPS is and what power they have. There is no such thing as a harmless call to CPS.

Wow. You really need to find a bunch of teachers and go on a national news spree with this type of stuff to get the attention of elected officials. Something needs to change in our schools.

Sure, but
1) Our liberal media is protecting the liberal agenda of destabilizing our public schools. Why do you think school violence has been so normalized lately?
2) Most teachers can’t afford to suddenly get fired for speaking out.
3) Parents and communities must vote out the destructive school boards, and vote in making school safety every child’s right.
4) Violent kids who inflict injuries must be immediately dismissed from school. Kids with mental illnesses do not get a free pass to prevent everyone else from getting an education. Sick children require medical attention in medical facilities.

Schools are for learning, not for protected, ongoing violence.

You must not have lived here in the 80's, it's much better now. But back to the subject at hand, teachers are allowed to call 911.

Name the high schools where the administration supports assaulted teachers calling 911 for help.

What? Call 911 yourself you don't need someone there holding your hand. Name the high school where a teacher was punished by administration for calling 911.

Schools have established procedures for these instances. The correct procedure is for the teacher to evacuate every other non-participating student from the classroom to a safe, alternate location, and then notify the front office.

That is the procedure.

The wrong procedure is to protect classroom violence.

Why is there no established for procedure for having the violent perpetrator dismissed from school, at least for the rest of the day?

When teachers need to keep their job, they can’t afford to risk getting fired. You know that.

My mom was disciplined for calling 911 after a group of her Baltimore City middle school students told her that they would jump her afterschool and when she went to leave at 5 pm, they were waiting for her. The police came, the girls ran away, and the next day, she was called into the principal’s office to be yelled at.

They should defend themselves first.

Calling the police is an afterthought.

How do you do that when you’re a petite woman, and the aggressor is a football type HS senior?

In many organizations, leadership prioritizes lack of observable friction. They want conflict to go away, but that doesn’t always mean fixing root problems of the conflict.

In *some* cases, there are things adults in a school can do to de-escalate situations. There are also children with diagnosed disabilities that cause them to exhibit emotional disturbances at school. Various laws require those conditions to be accommodated in the least restrictive environment. (LRE can be difficult to define and take time to find.) The combination of conflict avoidance, adults needing to be more responsible than children, and the legal obligations of schools can lead to an internal culture of teacher blame. It’s not uncommon when a child acts out for a parent and/or administrator to ask the teacher, “What did you do to trigger him/her?” One of the most stressful parts of teaching is the way that so many at so many schools are asked to over-ride their personal boundaries and then accept blame when the lack of boundaries doesn’t go well.

In this culture of teacher blame and expectation that teachers will always bend to serve students’ needs and wants, calling 911 isn’t acceptable. It’s airing out the family’s dirty laundry in public. It endangers the administrators’ jobs and makes legal friction with the child’s family more likely. It also violates administrators’ feelings about appropriate chain of command. Barring immediate danger to other students, like a gun being openly brandished, calling 911 is too often a career-ending event.

When a “disabled” violent kid kicked in his teacher’s lungs and snapped her ribs, he ended her career. Her physical health will never be the same, nor will her mental health. That kind of trauma never heals.

I’d honestly be looking into concealed carry in her case if she can do it safely.

And she should shoot to kill as soon as she has justifiable fear for her life.

And, when my child was a danger to themselves, 911 was called. I have vivid memories of three times, and I know there were more. So I am not understanding the prohibition that OP is referring to.

Sounds like your memories are from many years ago. Things have changed since then. Teachers are routinely being attacked these days. Are you new to this forum?

Knock off the histrionic hyperbole. This simply isn’t true.

Unfortunately it is true, if you count insults, spits, raised voices and threats. Then there are shoves and punches, rarer but they still happen at least once a year in every school.

Do you think you should be calling the police for insults?

No, it is what the Republicans want so they argue for sending money to private schools where students can be "safely" segregated.

CPS doesn't do anything unless you're in a very wealthy area. Even then they aren't going to do anything if the kid has special needs.
