Sorry - two blogs in one night.
Tonight I came home from work a little shaken.
Again an incident at the Jr. High where I
work.
I call it the little prison because it really feels
like that's where we are. It's a focus school, where
the kids that can't make it in the regular schools come to as the last chance to be in a public school.
O.K. It's Friday - a good day until 1:45.
This is how the events went:
It's the end of lunch time - it's Friday the kids seem a little edgy.
4 Boys start using very colorful language, one boy accusing another boy of looking at his girlfriend. The boys start walking to a building where they can duke it out.
These kids LOVE to fight.
The secretary is out there helping monitor these kids during the lunch hour along with some teachers,and a security guard. She's trying to keep these guys
from brawling when all of a sudden she get's a hard blow to
the back of her neck. One of the guys hit her hard on the back of her neck.
Fists were flying - tempers raging.
Another student was hit hard in the mouth, a bloody mess.
The security guard and 2 teachers are trying to constrain the students the
best they can - while the secretary is brought into me.
She's shaking, very unstable. She's throwing up and
very dizzy. 3 Police cars, a gang taskforce, 1 firetruck & 1 ambulance end up at our school.
The secretary is taken by ambulance to Scottsdale Osborne. A student is taken to get stitches on his face. The security
guard is shaken up in the fight also - I don't know if he or the secretary will be
back on campus on Monday. I hope they're o.k.
I was lucky because I was just out amongst the thugs monitoring
my little defiant diabetic who lies about what food he
eats at lunchtime. We had gone into the Health Office just minutes before the excitement started. Needless to say, I was the last one
at the school on this lovely Friday afternoon filling out
Accident Reports. Wah Wah! (Besides the janitor)
I'm glad this year's almost over!
