News flash: Teachers nuts

This report from the UK doesn't surprise:

Nearly half of the country's secondary school teachers have suffered mental health problems due to worsening pupil behaviour, a survey has revealed.

The research, by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, on 300 secondary school teachers, showed that abuse at the hands of pupils had left 46 per cent taking antidepressants or facing long lay-offs from school through stress.

Many teachers do nothing more than baby-sit unruly brats. This can be truly difficult when the brats are nearly adult in size. The surprising thing is that no teacher has snapped and done a Jeffrey Weise.
