Let's hope that the person who wins the November inspires students to do their best to learn. Also, we must hope that parents and students also take personal responsibility to learn everything they can in school so that they can compete economically. Education brings with it true economic freedom.

Teachers really have their hands tied when it comes to maintaining order in the classroom. Ultimately, the responsibility here is with the parents. I did not witness this event, so I have no way of knowing who is in the right. Sounds like there might be some problems on both sides. It is unfortunate that pepper spray was used, but it may have really been necessary. My brother is a teacher and he has had the misfortune of having a student threaten him with a knife.
