So sad for all concerned.

I wonder if the adults became that way from frustration or gravitated to that job because they were already that way?

Regardless, those “teachers” should have chosen a better career path. There are people who will pay to be hit. And I have heard it pays better than most teacher salaries.

Now, they will learn a new trade. They should bringblots of cigarettes. And never run out of cigarettes…
