BALTIMORE (4/08) - A teacher beaten by a student inside her classroom, an attack captured via cell phone, a student told to sit down, a class encourages rebellion, a student strikes teacher, a principal admonishes...the teacher "for uttering a 'trigger' word" which, by implication, facilitated the entire situation.

These are not yesterday's students!

These are not yesterday's students; we cannot teach today's kids with out-dated strategies--nor can we have effective pedagogy without consistent, tough love--nor can we teach in environments of chaos and cacophony!  We firmly believe that all children can learn, but we also maintain that education is a privilege.  Those students who seek to rob others of a quality education must not remain in an traditional academic setting.  We seek to spread the truth about the state of education as it exists in many districts across this nation.
