Two Milwaukee Public Schools teachers were injured in separate incidents shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday, police said today.At Washington High School police arrested a 20-year-old woman who struck a 40-year-old male teacher there, cutting him over his eye and on his cheek.During the arrest, the woman also struck a police officer, bloodying his nose, Milwaukee Police Capt. Gregory Habeck said.The fight was part of a disturbance at the school that involved more than 60 students, Habeck said. It's unclear how the disturbance began or what the woman's relationship is to the school.At about the same time at Bay View High School, a 16-year-old male student was arrested after he repeatedly struck a 55-year-old male teacher who had called school security to remove the student from his classroom.The teacher suffered a cut to his temple, Habeck said.Both the woman and the teenager are in custody, Habeck said.
Washington is one of many examples of how the "small schools" program is a complete failure...EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL that is doing it is COMPLETELY out of control.
Ya, its the teachers fault that kids can't read...don't blame the parents or the kids...its the teacher getting beaten who is to blame....

Scorpion says---
If the really "open minded" knew
what was actually going on in our
"MILWAUKEE PATHETIC SCHOOLS" each and every day they too wouldn't stand for it. It is time to realize
that punishments need to be in place that actually provide a real
punishment.I hope your hard working
colleague wasn't seriously injured.
Game,
Please provide a link or explanation of the "small schools program". If it sucks, I'd like to keep an eye out for it in my area.
Bill Gates gave MPS millions to turn "big" high school (like 1500-2000 kids) into "small" high schools....the buildings are still big, but each floor or area is run like it is a separate school.
Washington was one of the first, along with North Division.
North had one school shut down because it was so bad, and the school is either going back to a "big" school or close completely.
Washington lost their funding because they are so bad. Pulaski just started doing doing it, and that school is two to three times as bad as it was before.
If some liberal comes to your area and says how great these schools work, tell them to look at Milwaukee. I would like to know where it actually does work.
more clarification...
each "school" in the same building has its own administrators, kids and rules...the buildings are all out of control...
Pulaski is not a multiplex. Only Marshall, North, and Washington are, and some other buildings--like Sholes--that were done differently.
I did a whole series on MPS's plan to smallinize everything in 2005.
Pulaski is "small communities"...also a failure
The small-school baloney isn't just in the innercity. Every two years in the community I grew up in, New Lenox, they are building a new school, and it is a killer in taxes. People don't want large schools because they believe it will create a result like the Chicago public schools.
But what actually happens is more overhead is created, since each school needs a principal, a staff, counselors, i.e. the usual deployment of bullshit. One day New Lenox will be like Burbank, a community that went through a boom decades ago, but it still paying for empty schools today.
The advantage of a large school it that, as I mentioned, we save on overhead per student, and that the system is extensible-- it can accommodate a surge in students, and if the community ages, there are no empty buildings sitting around.
With respect to infrastructure and the quality of education, if one looks at other systems around the world, one will find people outperforming us with much larger class sizes and less money per student. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that other factors must be present to conduce to a student's education.
In short, the education bureaucracy simply wants power for power's sake, and they'll make any argument to get it.
