It's Time to Arm Teachers
I'm thinking Mace and a handgun should be issued to teachers on the first day of school...

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) --
Police say a mother and her two sons beat a teacher unconscious at school with a desk and a chair because she had suspended the younger boy.
The teacher, who works in an alternative school program for troubled youth, had suspended the boy for spitting in her face and pushing her, police said.
Jamie Mereness, 34, and her 17-year-old son William Ramos, went with her 12-year-old son to the school Tuesday afternoon to confront the teacher, who was not identified, police said Thursday.
Police said Mereness, Ramos and the younger son choked and punched the teacher, then used a desk and a chair to beat her in a basement classroom, Detective Lt. Santo Centamore said. The alternative school program is held in a church.
Police said the victim's 11-year-old son was in the classroom at the time and ran to a pay phone across the street to call police, Centamore said. Mereness and her sons were gone when police arrived.
The victim was treated at St. Luke's Hospital for bruises on her face and neck and pain in her back, neck and arm, and released, Centamore said.
Mereness and both sons were arrested Wednesday and charged with felony burglary and assault. Mereness had not been assigned a lawyer Friday, and her phone number is not listed.
The 12-year-old will be charged in family court, said Assistant District Attorney John Geidel.

It's not only useless to contact parents about misbehaving students, it's downright dangerous these days!
