Nineteen states still allow corporal punishment in schools. Maryland is not one of them.

Thus, here we have a negligent teacher and a beater teacher.

I say this as a former teacher who prevented countless fist fights before they happened and with high school age kids, many of them gang members.

We have to be vigilant, eyes in the back, sides, and top of our heads.

It's a hell of a hard job.
