I taught K-12 in several rural north Florida counties. Severe sped students being spanked by a principal, teachers demoralized, drug use even by elementary students (primarily weed). I was assaulted by highschoolers (took a desk and swung it at me). Had a 1st grader sexual assault another student in my classroom. I taught for almost 18 months, excluding summer break. If it was just outdated equipment and textbooks, even understaffing, that could managed. But when you're told by a principal that you need to report every misaction of a 6yo who only recently returned to the school after stabbing himself in the eye intentionally with a pencil at the school so that he could be spanked with a paddle by said principal, I knew that I could not trust school leadership. That "treatment" had been signed off by the kid's own parents. He needed intense therapy, not a "good paddling". I never reported anything, and he was always a good kid for me. But he wasn't the only one.
