How Did The Education World Become So Topsy-Turvy?

This just floors me:

A veteran English teacher at Flushing HS says she was so terrified when a student charged at her and threatened to beat her with a heavy cast on his arm that she blurted out in self-defense, “If you hit me, I’ll kill you.”

Now teacher Eileen Ghastin has been yanked from the Queens school pending an investigation into whether she mistreated the out-of-control teen.

“The kid threatened to assault me, and they’re bringing me up on disciplinary charges,” Ghastin told The Post.
