Where is Steve Martins? Guess he's not interested in the attacks on teachers. Teachers will remember this when he runs for mayor in the next election.
If only these teachers that are struggling with classroom management would learn how to de-escalate tensions. The teachers have filled these students with rage and now it is their responsibility to educate them at the highest levels.
^teachers.are.not.the.problem
I hope Henry sends back the bogus report to Anne Bradshaw and asks for the "true" figures of teacher assaults. The Councillors should feel insulted that this woman thinks she can report lies as the truth. It's an insult to everyone's intelligence.
Steve martin was the only city councillor not to support Henry's motion. Maybe they mayor got to him.
Henry is a hero in my eyes.
For Steve not to support a common sense motion tells me he has an agenda.
Henry, take everything the School Dept. Administrative team tells you with a grain of salt. I am quite sure they (ADM.) are going to down play the assaults.
Thank you Councillors for listening to and believing in your city's teachers; that means a great deal to us
The city councilors should be applauded for their efforts again to right the ship of the sinking school department. Our school committee is a huge failure which in turn has made our school system a complete disaster. Steve Martins, we will remember your lack of support.
