Yes. My wife was threatened by a parent and then her son. She is no longer teaching. I personally handled the situation and let them know how this will play out if they get cute. Ultimately she moved schools and we decided to move on.
The table scraps she was getting paid weren’t worth it. We don’t need it. The pension on the back end was the only worthwhile reason to continue and she would have been lucky to see anything.
At the end of the day- look at the funding for education and the respect teachers get. Why bother? Many parents at home think school is daycare and they are delusional when their child underperforms or acts like a punk. For every engaged parent there is another that is getting high or a train wreck all day. Starts at home.
