Topic: The Club House / Just starting out

having worked in a juvenile correctional facility for two years, I do applaud all of you, but I can’t see eye to eye with any of youl, you get to have weapons, and if you hit back, you can always say it was the perps fault. I am not allowed to hit back, at all, that would be “child abuse”, and so get hit punched , kicked, bit, etc. on a regular basis. most of my kids are bigger than me, by a long shot. i have three boys over 6’3" in my classroom, and while I am trained to put them down, and I am a little 5’4" woman. I wish I had the means you had to subdue people, but I just have myself, and my wits, to keep it together. I think that in our situation, we need tazers, or something, to stop the madness! Any thoughts?
