Parents physically threaten teacher for intervening during fight and physically pulling one student off another (because you know, you're supposed to let my kid kill the other one). Teacher faces prosecution for that as well. Found not guilty. Parents then sue teacher for $20 million. Case settled for $90,000.
Too bad the parents themselves didn't get sued for their kid inflicting harm on another student, but hey why should people be present to do the right thing amiright?
'I paid no attention, gave my students the grades they deserved, and patiently explained to every parent that their child's grades would improve once he or she started behaving in class and doing the assigned lessons. For this, Ms. Savoy cited me for insubordination.'
'Ms. Savoy had abandoned all pretense of administrative support by this point. Nearly every student I sent to the office returned within minutes.'
'False allegations against me and other teachers snowballed,...as I began to be investigated on almost a weekly basis (for separating combatants), parents came to school to berate and threaten me—naturally, without reprisals from the administration.'
